Ben,
You sound like you've been talkin to Dr. Quackinbush-------
Atmospheric pressure------Hogwash!

Actually because the sun is on the way north the brake fluid is heaiver,
because the sun is closer, adding to the gravitational pull of the
fluid.
If you took 5.1462,  and multiplied it by 8.337, and then took it's
sqaure root and added 6, this would tell you exactley, how long it would
take for the brake fluid, with the air molecules to drain into a
spherical container of 6" or more, in 15.25 minutes.

And you thought this stuff was easy!

Dr. Terrence has all the calculations.

The next solution will cost you.
