what's the best way to capture brake fluid?

[steppen22]

Will it be okay to use an old squash bottle, or will this not be up for the job? A coke can or two?

I don't really want to pay for anything.

Well you shouldn't really reuse brake fluid, if there's a reason to drain it then put new stuff in, Dot4 is only a £2-3 for 500ml. Waste stuff you can put in anything except the cat, it kills them.

[steppen22]

how to dispose of?

just in a hedge?

Two things.

1. Why re-use? The only reason I can think of for possibly re using brake fluid would be if you're very tight, and changing your brake lines or something. Re-using it is still a bad plan, just see this as a good time to really clean out your system.

2. I stick mine in with my waste engine oil, which gradually accumulates in 25L drums. It will burn with a little encouragement.

[Itchy]

Capture it ? why? it tends to leak out anyway when I clean my brakes pop the pistons and it goes all over the cardboard sheet I've laid down , and I toss the sheet later on, heh don't get it onto concrete flags though as it stains it like grease for months.

I use half a 2 litre coke bottle to catch my old fluid. Then I pour it into the drain with lots of water. Its an outside storm drain so I doubt it goes anywhere of consequence. Probably just to my kitchen tap...

If you put it in a coke bottle then aren't you actually better off chucking the bottle out with the rubbish?

At the recycle depot (tip) near me there is a used engine fluids unit where you can pour in such wastes.

I just use an old coffee jar, I have the bleed hose going through a hole in the lid so it doesn't go everywhere if I knock it over. Worked really well when I did them a few weeks ago.

The local tip just told me to chuck it in general waste - along with small amounts of old petrol and diesel that I had in jars.
