It was probably ATE Super Blue fluid. I've got a Motive bleeder, and
they recommend using denatured alcohol to clean it out. 99% isopropyl
would probably work, and is easy to find, as is non-denatured
Everclear. I've never had to, because I don't put fluid in it, just use
it as a handy pressure source. I top up the car's reservoir, bleed one
brake, top up again, do the next, &c. It's a little bit more work, but
no muss, no fuss.
