Brake fluid questions

I have access to a rather nice pressurized brake bleeding system that
seems ideal for filling the Europa brake.  However, the unit is filled
with Shell Fluid 4 brake fluid the specs on the fluid container state
that the project is suitable for aviation and non-aviation applications
utilizing synthetic rubber.  In reading the Europa manual is clearly
states in bold print "use only automotive brake fluid DOT3 or DOT4.  My
question is two fold.  Why only automotive brake fluid and will the Shell
Fluid 4 suffice?  

Can anyone out there shed some light on this one.  Thanks in advance.
