Abstract
Do the brake fluid suppliers really know what the brake engineer wants from brake fluid? Of course they realize that the safety conscious brake engineer wants improvements in boiling point. But do they realize that he is interested in other characteristics which in the long run will help improve the end product - the automobile? One brake engineer speaks out about the characteristics he would like in brake fluids.
