[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16508229, member: 9628"] I found this on the internet..... "Exposure to corrosive process fluids and cleaners, high humidity or high salinity environments such as sea water [b]can[/b] remove the native protective layer (chromium oxide) and [b]can cause stainless steel[/b] corrosion. Removing surface [b]rust[/b] from surfaces improves the appearance, but it's importance goes beyond the decorative." Brake fluid has been rusting out brake systems for years because it absorbs moisture from the air, the difference now is the manufacturers do use a certain quality of stainless to lessen the rust issue, but the regular system maint. intervals are required to keep the system clean. NOTE - To be honest, from what I read above, it may not be "rust", but instead an "oxidation or corrosion" of the stainless that causes the discoloration and the dark sludge shown in my second picture. That "gathering" of dark particles would not even be noticed when flushing a system, only the dark fluid would be noticed. The only reason mine showed the way it did is because I captured it in a bottle and let it settle. R [/QUOTE]
