WOW! This has got to be one of the strangest posts ever posted on FTE. You are just kidding, right Kevin?
water is a liquid and not compressed. So if I was going to throw all the components away I would not be afraid to do it to get it home. I just wouldn't want the brakes to get hot and boil the water lol
its not like you'd be driving like you stole it. I've moved vehicles with vise grips pinching brake lines.
ive used a washer bottle as a gas tank and used the washer pump to pump the gas into the float bowl to get a vehicle home.
Never heard oil any substitute for brake fluid, especially not any kind of vegetable oil. I would never use it and certainly wouldn't advise anyone else to use it.
It's amazing how some people will dredge up the oldest threads possible. But the question is pretty valid. What could someone use as a brake fluid substitute?
In a pinch, I would use 100% ethylene glycol (AKA antifreeze) but understand, that while you could probably stop the vehicle a couple of times, once the stuff started boiling, the brakes would likely lock up with no warning. (Brake fluid has a much higher boiling temp than ethylene glycol)
