I did my brake fluid change last week but i bought a big 5 litre bottle as it was virtually same price as a 1 litre bottle ::).
i of course did the lid up again but how long will it last ?
ta
-
it will last quite awile as long as you keep it in a dry area because breake fluid atracts moisture so i would put some olastic ouer the spout before you put the lid back on
-
I would be tempted to decant what's left into a few 1 litre bottles, filling them to the brim, and open them as required. If there's a lot of air space in the top of the container the fluid can absorb moisture from it.

Pointless buying big containers of brake fluid as it only has a two year life in the brake circuit so its reaonable to assume similar in a large tub.

good point mark. luckily i got a couple of cars to service that take the same stuff so hopefully most of it will get used :y

As above, I was told same, so I bought loads of smaller 1L bottles. That way you only open when needed, so they can last a lot longer.
Although I bought on TC, used pressure kit to flush fluid. You do use more via this method, but it's much easier! :)

How do they work Tunnie? i assume all 4 wheels off and bleeders cracked loose, then fire it up and wait for all 4 to show fresh fluid?

I buy the 250ml bottles. I don't keep them "in stock", but purchase as needed, as it goes off pretty quick.
I too use an Eezi-bleed - or however its spelt - like tunnie. Actually, does tunnie own one, or does he nick mine ?

Had a five litre for stock once, never again. lid fitted while stored. Bunged it in an old astra after a master cylinder and wheel cylinder change. Notched the rear brakes up to get the hand brake nice and tight.
You can guess the rest. 1 litre tubs only now.
