While working out the brake issues on my wife's SS, I thought, let me score a turkey baster to pull fluid out of the reservoir. Don't know if she has one and if she did I didn't want to potentially ruin it with brake fluid.
Went to the grocery store expecting the usual milky white soft plastic (LDPE? guessing) baster we've probably all seen hundreds of times. Nope. Just one choice, and it's a clear hard plastic fancy thing from "GoodCook" - I'm thinking it's probably polystyrene (PS) plastic. First time pulling brake fluid up from the reservoir, it clouded the bottom half of it instantly and permanently. After emptying the reservoir with it, I noticed it had a bunch of cracks all the way through, gave it the apperance of being shattered, yet it's holding together (for now) and still works. Sketchy! The whole thing looks like this:
For those doubting brake fluid is nasty stuff..
