Subject:Re: wisdom of brake fluid res. location

Removing the brake fluid from the rug is easy.  Remove the
rug completely, hose it off, throw a little soap on, scrub
with a brush, sun dry.  Easer than it sounds, except fining
a warm place this time of year.  Brake fluid is water soluable,
and comes right out.
