Anyone know a "catalyst" for brake fluid?

Yeah I did know that actually, I had a brain fart

Depends if it's Dot4 or Dot5 fluid. Your garden hose water should be ok for Dot4 but you might need your kitchen water for the Dot5.

Ferk don't listen to wimen . For God's sake use bottled water it has no nitrates. It's manufactured to a standard.

And I think Goblin might have been posting tongue in cheek 'cause hose and tap water come from the same place. Great how we chicks can mess with your minds ...........
