What happens if you put BRAKE FLUID in your gas tank? (You'll be surprised!)

Time for another experiment.. We put two bottles of brake fluid in the gas tank of my beater.. the results are pretty shocking..

[@dylanusie1023]

Yea I was waiting for that. I have brake fluid but no gas and my bike has a spark plug issue. I might wanna wait... I do need substantial fluid in the brakes, but I don't need brake fluid if I don't have gas... Right? So I agree with you about the plugs , I bet they are looking confused.

[@jaywilliamson9860]

since brake fluid is basically oil based, same as gasoline i'd say it wouldn't hurt at all may even help the old beater. the smell you got was probably from a bit higher exhaust temps and the brake fluid may actually help clean the injectors. Back in the old days on big diesel engines we would fill the fuel filters half full with transmission fluid to clean out the injectors. the transmission fluid would burn a bit hotter thus helping clean the soot and carbon off of them.

We use brake fluid to soak rusty bolts So it probably cleaned the fuel system! !

[@hussamhallak7505]

@@classic24hrtowingreferrals28 brake fluid is corrosive. It can be used to strip paint. I doubt it will clean the system. It will probably cause corrosion in the fuel tank, lines, filter, etc.

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

​​​@@hussamhallak7505Why would it be corrosive? It doesn't corrode your brake system. Stripping paint isn't metal corrosion. Brake fluid is oil based which keeps water, the electrolyte, one of the four things necessary for corrosion (electrolyte, anode, cathode, and metal path) from touching the metal. Is it an ideal corrosion inhibitor? It is in a closed system but otherwise not, but it is designed to not corrode various metals. It probably does corrode polymers though.

You have stumbled unto the best gum removal cleaner ever. Also, I had an engine that was stuck that had not started for years, I took the spark plugs out, poured fluid into each cylinder, it soaked overnight, next day it turned over started and ran like a dream ever since.

Putting brake fluid in the car, in smaller amounts, actually helps the car. The brake fluid gets rid of all the gunk that actual gasoline leaves. I put brake fluid about a half a bottle per tank in my tractor trailer, and it cleans the injectors. It helps the mileage, it went from 5 mi to the gallon to about 8 I've done this for the past 20 years. So probably it will make your catalytic converter last longer because it's cleaning out all the gunk

In my high school years, I was walking home from my girl friend's house and I cut across a parking lot. Two guys in their 20s were high-revving a car's engine. They had put a brick on the gas pedal and were outside, waiting to see what would happen. I waited with them, watching billowing clouds of smoke coming out of the tailpipe. My thought was that engine parts would soon be flying through the air (or embedding themselves in the pavement). A show of another kind. Surprise, after several minutes, the smoke began to lessen, although the noise did not -- still high-reving. In another few minutes, there was hardly any smoke and one of the guys removed the brick. The engine idled down, they got in the car and drove it away, as if nothing had happened. I have heard that a half-hour at freeway speeds will do wonders for a city car. This may have been the short-cut treatment.

Now you got me thinking. What about transmission fluid in the gas tank. I'm sure ti won't be good on the gas millage but we used to slowly pour transmission fluid into the carburetor with the motor running to loosen up sticky valves. When doing this you have to hold the gas throttle to keep the RPM's running high enough so it wouldn't kill the motor. Too much oil at one time will stall the motor. To low of RPM will stall motor as well. Another words... Turn car on. Rev up motor. Slowly poor half to whole bottle of transmission fluid into carburetor. Keep it revved up so the motor won't die. Motor will run rough while doing this but it will smooth out once your done pouring. Result... Huge amount of smoke will come out of exhaust. Oil residue will blow thru exhaust so don't do this in the driveway unless you have a good size cardboard or and old sheet/blanket that you no longer need or simply do it in the neighbors yard and don't worry about it. ( kidding about neighbors yard of coarse but the rest is fact). The funny side of this is... a neighbor from down the street jump in her car to see where all the smoke is coming from thinking our house was on fire. She wasn't too happy when I explained what I was doing, especially all I could do is laugh. I've done this when I was living on the farm but living in a residential neighborhood, people tend to freak out to easy.

As people are becoming more frightened of what is around the next corner so to say, I seem to be more at peace than I've ever been. Do you feel this way? People often don't take a breath and look at the whole picture, instead of just the peephole view before their eyes. People, THIS is the very reason we do not have to fear; if God be for you, who can be against you (that matters)? This is the trying & testing of (our) your faith in your Almighty God & Father. Christianity is the ONLY system of faith in which we are to KNOW, that we ARE the very children of the Most High. He is, and calls Himself our Father, and we, His children. Jesus tells us to pray "Abba", Our Father... ? No. Abba, is our "Daddy", and we, no matter our age, are His little children. How beautiful!!! How comforting that the God of ALL, the only and true God the Creator, cares, & even more than cares.

How much is brake fluid per litre? I might start using it instead of normal petrol

[@marvintyus4073]

The brake fluid has an alcahol content plus a light lubricant. In the gas tank it serves as a gasoline additive; when mixed, suspends any water in the tank which is "burned".

[@hiteman1]

Correct bro!!!

[@scassidy77]

I'd like to see what would happen if you filled the gas tank full of Farts instead of gasoline. Then see if it would still run? Farts are in fact combustible.

You might want to keep an eye on your Rubber hoses and seals.Some shops use Brake fluid to soften the seals on Automatic Transmissions.

[@runsolomon]

That's actually completely backwards that's why you can use brake fluid in your transmission but not transmission fluid in your brakes the transmission fluid has detergents that soften the rubber in your brake system lines seals gaskets etc

[@antoniocruz4853]

@@runsolomon Brake fluid does not expand with heat. Transmission fluid does expand with heat. If you put Transmission fluid in your brake, will expand due to heat expansion and will applied your brakes without pressing your pedal. That why you do not use Transmission fluid in the brakes. And Yes, brake fluid will soften rubber.

I'd be into seeing what happens if you run the fuel down to near zero, then pour in about a half gallon of brake fluid. Some (usually really old cars) have a bolt on bottom of gas tank you can remove to drain the gas. Dunno if it would work then. Also

I had a bad brake booster that was leaking past the diaphragm, didn't know it for a little while so the fluid built up in the vacuum chamber.

[@johnlivesay5110]

When I was just a young boy my father had a 1939 Plymouth that he ran out of gas about 3/4 of a mile from home on a dirt road that led up to our house where we were living at the time. He had five gallons of kerosene in a five gallon can that he had bought for kerosene oil lamps and other cooking apparatus fueled by kerosene also. So him being a mechanic poured the kerosene into the gas tank of the old car to get it home and he also poured two quarts of motor oil into the gas tank and I asked him why he did that( I was old enough to know that kerosene and regular motor oil is not normally used to fuel cars with.) But he said that the motor oil would lubricate something with in the engine ( I can't remember exactly what because that was nearly sixty years ago now) but he started it up and it blew so much white smoke from the exhaust that it looked like a white cloud on the ground but it ran and we got it home on its own power. So that was quite a memory that I have from my childhood somewhere back in the early to mid sixties I suppose.🙂

[@richardfld]

can help on cars that have leaking seals on the fuel system as the brake fluid causes seals to swell

[@davidstinson9293]

I wonder what effect this would have on your fuel pump. All the rubber in your master cylinder and calipers are made to resist breaking down with brake fluid. What about the rubber in your fuel hoses, will it withstand the brake fluid or break the rubber down causing fuel leaks and fires? Remember flexfuel cars burn ethanol E85, but my car dealer tells me to never run that in my 2017 Sante Fe. Be careful with additives that aren't made for your car. The damage could be quite costly.

[@kcox3090]

Logically, that is a real possibility of rubber/plastic components of the fuel system failing because of the nature of what brake fluid is and does outside the resivor, like strip paint if you happen to spill and not clean the affected area. But when women are involved with 'adding' stuff, it's a good chance they have no idea of what they are doing, being mostly not being mechanically 'minded'. :-/

[@mrwebber35]

As I recall in mechanics school adding actual oil to a brake cylinder will expand their seals until they become too soft to function. I don't believe that happens in reverse. Brake fluid is not a petroleum product. Dot 4 brake fluid is made of borate and glycol.

[@darthraider2050]

Put some urine in the tank, and see if it will crank

[@bloggerccc]

Alcohol fuels caused this problem. Various gaskets were impervious to petroleum products but got soft and leaky from alcohol.

[@toetagmusic2827]

It's synthetic fluid. Not corrosive like the standard fluid

[@MrBillrookard]

Just as a technical nitpick.... Brake fluid does not AMPLIFY brake pressure, it TRANSMITS hydraulic pressure. The ratio of the master cylinder piston to the brake cylinder piston is what amplifies the pressure. Still, video was entertaining as heck to watch... :)

That's not right bill what amplifies the hidraulic braking system its the servo that works with vacuum ...basic knowledge liquids are not compressable in resume you simple cannot transfer more liquid (brake fluid ) into a small recipient and just another fact ...the brake master cylinder takes less oil then one of the calipers... imagine all ... 👍👍

[@pvanb2]

@@mrmotormd varsol in trans works better...swells seals, but does not degrade them

[@mrmotormd]

@@pvanb2 true, but varsol can damage metal to metal interactions such as pump components, sprags and planetaries due to the fact that it has low lubrication properties and will is used to strip metal of oils. The ratio of varsol to atf would have to be minimal I would assume. I preach to all my customers that when something is broken you fix it by replacing the failed components, there is no such thing as magic in a bottle. There are however temporary fixes. If I really needed to buy myself a couple of days before rebuilding my transmission I might use varsol. But as I preach to my customers if it is broken fix it, don't patch it. There is no such thing as that "magic in a bottle" most companies claim. Even the most intelligently planned attempts to restore things such as this without actually repairing it usually leads to bigger problems and higher cost of repair.

[@pvanb2]

@@mrmotormd Use varsol replace the transmission oil after a service, then you run through the gears for a few minutes to ensure varsol is throughout the various clutch packs. Then the vehicle is parked and left for just a half hour or so, idle running in park, as the varsol softens the seals. Then a drain and refill with proper ATF. This procedure will cure a delayed engagement and soft shifts for various lengths of time, depending on how bad condition of the seals were, but it delays the clutch packs steels and fibers from further degradation and ultimate failure..for awhile longer. This will delay the need for an expensive overhaul for customers who cannot afford one, but of course is only a temporary fix. Guaranteed ...these grateful customers will use you to do the proper repair on their vehicle, or their next one. If you thought to drive around for any length of time with only varsol in the transmission...you are NO mechanic or transmission tech.
