Brake bleeding idea
I just tried this and it works good when flushing brake system and installing very expensive Castrol SRF fluid.
First drain master cylinder resevoir down to 1/2 full. Next put a few drops of some red or any color food dye in in the remaining fluid in resevoir and mix. Next bleed each wheel till you see the colored fluid. Go to next wheel and bleed down till the master cyl resevoir is just empty. Next fill resevoir with fresh fluid and start your brake bleeding as you normally do. when the colored fluid stops and the new clear fluid is visible you have completely flushed that wheel cyl. No guessing as to when the fresh fluid has filled the system. This takes a little time but you don't want to waste brake fluid that costs $38.00 a pint. I used red dye as it is easier to see. RD:) |
You could also use colored brake fluid, super blue or super gold. Alternate color each time you flush the brakes. That way, you don't have to worry about contaminating your brake system.

SRF only comes in one color and I don't beleive food dye is gonna hurt my brake lines. |
Unless they recently stopped making it, it comes in two colors, blue and gold. I have friends that alternate the two. I would never introduce moisture in my brake system. Check out this link
