Practice question
What is the primary danger of operating a vehicle with brake fluid that has absorbed more than 3% water?
- The brake lines will freeze solid in normal tropical weather

- The fluid will turn into an acid that eats through the brass caliper fittings within a week
- The ABS pump will run backwards, reversing the brake operation
Answer: B — The water content lowers the boiling point of the fluid, which can cause 'vapor lock' and sudden pedal loss under heavy braking
