It also has a funky numbing effect. Interesting, but I don't recommend it.

Brake fluid also erases the printing on Advance Auto receipts...

yeah brake fluid is one of the more nasty fluids in your motor, you really shouldn't be getting that in your mouth at all. You're either using a crap method for the job or you don't have the right tools. In either case you shouldn't be doing the job. Especially when it comes to brakes.

Doesn't matter if your engine fails, you'll just slow down, but if your brakes fail..... good luck.

Unless you're actually going around tasting various car fluids, in which case drink the whole bottle.
The gene pool needs a little chlorine.

Hmmmm, Antifreeze I never would have seen the relationship to butter. Maybe I just need to buy the higher grade antifreeze.

Brake fluid is toxic and potentially lethal I hope you didn't get any in your mouth.


Brake Fluid

Brake fluid is a flammable product which contains solvents in the form of glycols. Brake fluid is a poison and, if ingested, may cause central nervous system depression and kidney failure. Used brake fluid contains lead and other heavy metals in addition to solvents. These heavy metals can pose an environmental danger if disposed of improperly.

Personally, I find that an 8oz. glass of battery acid in the morning gets my day off to an invigorating start.

Brake fluid is not in your motor, it's in your brakes.

Motor = British slang for car.

As do I, my good man. Fancy some tea? I have Earl Grey, Darjeeling and English breakfast.

This afternoon I propose we take up a spot of rowing, lets show those cambridge boys a thing or two, what!
