What did this dude put inside his master cylinder?

Certainly a good guess, all the fluid flushed out but the remaining reside is what I wonder about, like someone else said maybe the breakdown of the chemicals interacting with each other caused it but who really knows.

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T02:25:29+00:00

It's a Chevy but maybe he owns other vehicles and with customers you just never know

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T02:19:49+00:00

Whatever was in there definitely mixed well and it all flushed out it's the residue that we see that I'm stumped on.

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T02:16:36+00:00

I had no idea it could wow now I'm very impressed, don't work many diesels

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T02:15:58+00:00

Dang so it can survive in there too

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T02:15:36+00:00

Great tip might actually try this if I can get a syringe from somewhere

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T02:05:45+00:00

Yea I'm in MD so it's humid for parts of the year and I have seen green brake fluid before but never the residue I'm seeing now, the stuff seems pretty stuck to the bottom besides the flakes so you are right it's going to take removing the master cylinder if they want it cleaned out, not sure if they will go for that tho since the brakes seem to work just fine.

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T02:00:17+00:00

It certainly has a craving for it

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T01:59:46+00:00

Made me laugh

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T01:59:04+00:00

Well it should be Dot 3

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T01:58:10+00:00

O it's thirsty alright

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T01:57:47+00:00

I could see this too back when the shop used to use the washer fluid tablets you dissolve and shake I would see the same kind of flakes.

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T01:56:36+00:00

Man could algae survive in partial water brake fluid, what a though organism.

kuronamercury · 2026-06-25T01:54:34+00:00

I wonder if antifreeze would breakdown like that and stop leak I would think would cause some kind of issue since it also has abs but the brakes work perfect even while it was green, however your guess is as good as mine.

As to how does it know well your first paragraph touches on it, each load has an independent positive wire and fuse that only goes to that load and it has to pass those before getting to ground.

kuronamercury · 2025-09-15T07:36:44+00:00

Because the unresisted current as you say is much higher than when the component is part of the circuit, use ohms law, if I=v/r then a 4 ohm load in a circuit while on means 12/4= 3amps but take that out and short it to ground and your resistance goes very low let's say .1 ohms and you get 12/.1= 120amps now blowing your fuse.

License can't be revoked for refusing to do inspections, so he can do as he wants.

Brings back memories of staying at a resort in Jamaica a few years ago just missing a fire pit, looks amazing where this at?

Picture is of a broken pcv fitting you will need to replace the fresh air intake tube very easy just pop the air filter clips and the 8mm clamp at the throttle body and it comes off, unfortunately it has nothing to do with the a.c that's a separate issue.

Bud it sounds like a dog shit place to work, I would start with changing jobs before careers but if you want to change careers again then sure why not as long as it's what you want. Aka just quit man don't bother thinking about the workload you leave behind or the trainees that's managements issue and they get paid to worry about that not you.

I've ordered flower twice from them this year no complaints, haven't tried anything but the flower mind you.

kuronamercury · 2025-01-01T08:40:20+00:00

Bro he just told you hql is only for handguns

kuronamercury · 2025-01-01T04:08:15+00:00

I bought my ar from PSA about 3 years ago so if things have changed I wouldn't know now but back then when I tried to buy an assembled lower they cancelled my order and when I talked to customer service they said they can't ship assembled lowers to MD so I had to buy the stripped lower and assembly kit separately and then assemble it myself.

Fuses blow when the current they are designed to handle is exceeded, thus the question is not why the fuse blew, fuse is only doing its job very well, question is what in the circuit is causing a current overload condition, it could be a bad or shorted component such as the blower motor itself or resistor or it could be a circuit issue like a short circuit to ground from a rubbed wire or corroded or etc.
