I picked up a motive power bleeder to make life easier however I can't find denatured alcohol locally. I was told a mild dish soap works but requires a lot of rinsing. Can rubbing alcohol or anything else be substituted instead of denatured alcohol? Thanks for the help!

Uhm... I'm assuming (but really hoping) you're talking about washing the inside of the bottle, right? You could try swishing some brake clean around in there to get the grime out. However, having a dirty bottle isn't really going to affect your brake fluid while bleeding/flushing. -
Haha ya the inside of the tank and pump brake clean will ruin the seals and I would like to be able to thorough flush it inase there is a differnt brake flud recommended for another vehicle thanks for the suggestion 👍Comment

Well I ended up picking up some rubbing alcohol. Hope it goes well. I'll try the bleeder and cleanup tomorrow unless some one has a better cleanup suggestionComment

Mineral spirits/ paint thinner will work for cleaning. Rubbing alcohol is like 75% water, so...Comment

Brake fluid is water soluble just fyiComment

I realize it is. Water means a long wait before reuse though.... Rubbing alcohol\iso is 70-99.9% Ethanol and is used to sterilize.Originally posted by FLG View PostComment
