Even the mention of it seems to cage their eyeballs. I can't keep storing used brake fluid forever and want to dispose of it properly, but how? Everyone seems terrified of it like it causes the plague. Any suggestions? Throwing it in some country road ditch is not a solution. Where do shops that do a lot of brake work get rid of brake fluid? When I was working, I just poured the stuff on our generating station coal pile.,
Next time your city comes around, tell them it is hydraulic fluid.
