Troy,
It sounds as though you have a trigear with toe brakes. The master
cylinders are the same as for the monowheel, and, as originally
supplied, contain seals that are appropriate for car type brake fluid.
However the slave cylinders in the wheels have seals suitable for
aircraft hydraulic fluid, so we provided new seals for the master
cylinders as part of the fuselage kit. Assuming these seals have been
fitted, you should use aircraft hydraulic fluid.
Regards,
Roger

Subject: Europa-List: Brake Fluid
Hi Again All,
I am about to put brake fluid in and bleed the system. Before I do, I
want to make sure the data I found in the archive is correct. I read
that DOT 5 silicone is good for ALL types of systems installed on the
Europa. Mine is the original "Kart" design I think, that came with kit
no. 120. I just wanted to make sure it's not going to consume my seals
before I put it in. Any comments or suggestions.
