Re: [DMCForum] Re: Time for my fuel system fix

What do you make them from and what were they originally? I know from 
bitter eperience that petroleum-based products should be kept away from 
natural rubber. Nitrile - that's a different matter.

I have a citroen with hydro-pneumatic suspension - it uses a mineral 
based hydraulic fluid for steering, brakes and suspension. You should 
never let that hydraulic fluid get anywhere near a standard DOT4 system, 
nor get brake fluid anywhere near my citroen because the seals get eaten 
in no time.

Edumacate me, Ken!
