    Alcohol will not hurt any brake system rubber parts as long as it isn't blended with other chemicals that contain a oil base.I deal with this stuff everyday.

    You didn't step on any toes. I just found the site by searching, and glad someone told me about the possible harm from the site. :thumbs2:

    I've learned alot here, as I would never have thought of putting alcohol in the brake lines. I just would have flushed it a few times.
