What are Brake Fluid Reservoirs?
Brake fluid reservoirs are canisters that connect to the brake master cylinder. The brake fluid reservoir stores your vehicle’s brake fluid and protects it so that your hydraulic braking system can work properly.
Brake fluid reservoirs are canisters that connect to the brake master cylinder. The brake fluid reservoir stores your vehicle’s brake fluid and protects it so that your hydraulic braking system can work properly.
When you apply force to your brake pedal, the brake fluid translates that force into pressure and runs through your braking system. A fluid level sensor alerts you when levels get low. The reservoir lid protects the brake fluid from the elements.
Most brake fluid reservoirs are molded from polymer.
