Subject:      Brake Fluid vs Hose Material
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Does anyone offhand know what the black outside/blue inside hose that
connects the brake fluid reservoir to the clutch master cylinder is made out
of? I am remote mounting the brake fluid reservoir to make room for my
Passat speedo cluster and I'll be darned if I can find any definitive word
on the subject on the internet. Buna-N/Nitrile good? SIlicone bad? EPDM?
FKM? PTFE? I've found comments going both ways for all sorts of materials,
and the only consensus is that fuel line definitely won't work!
