To: rv-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2007 10:27 AM Subject: Re: RV-List: synthetic brake fluid -- available locally A couple of years back I studied the spec sheets for Aeroshell Fluid 30 and Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF and found they are virtually the same (composition, flash point, viscosities, etc.). I would have to guess that there are at least 20 RV's/Rockets I know of (mine included) that have been flying for years without any leaks, drips, flames, etc. using ATF in the brake lines. If I were a betting man I'd bet the newer replacements for 5606 are rebranded automatic transmission fluid. About $6.00/qt at your local Walmart. Its been known that urine, bottled water, soft drinks will work as a fluid in hydraulic systems in a pinch, FWIW... IMO opinion these fluids are superior to 5606, as unfortunately original poster found out the hard way. O-rings in the system wouldn't last long with these fluids though.

Since I already have a modified Cessna towbar, I may be able to use it for both the 8 and 8A. If not, I can get another for about $40 from ACS. Thanks again.......

Coming back to Livermore from Tucson the other day with the Santa Anas full force and blowing sand socking in the WJF/Lancaster area, L70 was a welcome fuel stop and rest from the hammering I was about to get from there to home. Nice place and sheltered from the wind being down in a little valley, at least for the few moments I was there.
