The non-standard or polluted brake fluid

Inappropriate brake fluid, mineral oil or water in liquid can cause boiling of brake fluid or damage of rubber elements of hydraulic system.

If primary cuffs of the piston are inflated, it means that rubber elements are damaged. The inflated cuff of the piston of the working brake cylinder on a cuff of drum brakes can indicate such damage.

If damage of rubber elements is available, sort all elements of hydraulic system and wash out alcohol. Dry up these details compressed air before assembly that alcohol did not get in system. Replace all rubber elements of system, including hoses. During the work with brake mechanisms check whether there is no liquid on brake slips. If excess of liquid is found, replace slips.

If consolidation of the piston of the main cylinder is enough, check whether there are no conditions for leak or an overheat. If such conditions are not found, merge liquid, wash out brake fluid, fill system and pit air.

The system should be washed out if there are any doubts as liquid in system or whether liquid which could contact to the polluted liquid is used.
