Is brake fluid flammable? I thought it was not, especially considering the hygroscopic characteristics of most DOT formulas.Brickren wrote:I was thinking about under the dash as another fire prone area. Especialy since all the brake fluid under there.

If the fire was inside the doghouse you could lift the top cover and pull the knob to activate the system. Should put out most fires. Way over kill but what the hell. Even has a 24 watt 110volt red CFL bulb in a explosion proof housing that is really cool at night for those "RIG FOR RED" moments LOL

We spec Halon 1211 in all Ferrari/Lamborghini applications that we deal with. It works well and leaves zero residue. It has only been banned by the EPA for ozone-depletion -- but I bet a burning Pinzguaer does more harm to Mother Earth than the deployment of 5# of Halon 1211.
I sit corrected (and surprised). From what I've just read, many automotive fluids that we think are inflammable actually burn at the right temps:Brickren wrote: Also ,brake fluid is very flammable. Ask a fireman.
