Oil instead of brake

I’ll tell you such a note about my adventure yesterday. Can anyone come in handy) I’m generally eating my Lada, suddenly on the next hill the clutch refuses.
I climb under the hood into the tank - there is no brake. What to do? In the reservoir for the brake, the brakes are also small.

I climb into the trunk, find working out (used engine oil). I fill it with brakes instead, I pump it and woo-a-la! The clutch works great at working out)))

True, I don’t know if it is possible to ride like this in winter. Probably the oil will thicken ... although who knows) Of course, theoretically it will work on water, but not for long)) But on oil ... I think it’s better than on brakes))

Alcohol is not at all more aggressive than gasoline in relation to rubber, but, on the contrary, is much weaker. And it’s better to drive the same brake - just pour out the extra liter, pumping all the contours.

It is necessary to distinguish between gas-oil-resistant rubber and ordinary. Normal (wheels, for example), easily dissolves with gasoline and any oil! Glycol brake brakes corrode much more strongly than oils and gasoline, therefore, of course, all components of the brake system are made of gas-oil-resistant rubber ... Remember, in the USSR there was always a brake in place of the VD-40. And try to pour on the brake paint ....)))))
Why then do not pour oil instead of brake? Yes, because its viscosity is much higher (and we need "water"), and this viscosity depends on temperature (there will be no brakes in winter).

Mineral oil corrode rubber? Oh well ... I’m driving to this day, no problem)) Soon I’ll change everything, apparently I’ll have to rinse with gasoline ... now this is more dangerous. Or is it better to drink alcohol? Although I think alcohol is much more aggressive than gasoline.

There’s a rubber gasket on the valve in the carriage; it doesn’t corrode it. Yes, and rubber hoses.

the basis of the brake is alcohol and cuffs are not oil resistant there in a short time they will be corroded and you will have to repair the main and working cylinders and change the hose

Yeah, and I started on the starter for the first time. But it switches perfectly, I didn’t even expect it) You just need to accelerate better, then you throw gas and switch while it rolls.

I once traveled around Moscow without a clutch)))). That was in the 90s. Also, the main cylinder died ... But the car was stronger - Audi-100, and even diesel !! She has a brutal torque at low speeds - with the third it was possible to get under way. So I decided to solve my questions already, since I arrived for 1000 km ...)))). Jammed at traffic lights. Then with the second starter - and went right away. Switch - you are right, if the box is synchronized, then let go of the gas and "looked" for a light transmission ...
.... Then in Moscow for spare parts for foreign cars there were frantic prices, so he left home without a clutch, in Brest - we then pulled a meal from Germany and dismantled it for spare parts. I bought a used cylinder for 10 bucks and changed it near the entrance ....)))))

Yes, I’m in the village of Gaisa, in the forests, in the fields. On the hill, the cylinder just drank the last brake with air and the clutch was gone. By the way, the first time I went without a clutch at all, I made a discovery for myself - you don’t need a clutch to change gears on the go)))

My working cylinder is dead, I will change. But while everything works, the oil does not run away as actively as the brake)) In general, everything is practically in place.

And then wash it with what? "Swirl", perhaps?
.... Honestly, somehow I don’t even imagine the situation he was in ... It goes without saying that the Dot-4 bank always drives in a car .... Yes, you notice right away - first the brakes, or the clutch becomes “soft” .... I’ll fall in love with any refueling / car shop and add it, even if you don’t have it with you ... This is if the cuff somewhere “went” ... Well, if the tube burst - so nothing will save ..... Is that jamming and topping up to get there ....
.... Separately, about mining: Dmitry, stock up on new cylinders - there are many microscopic abrasive metal particles in mining ...

Rinse and replace! In extreme cases - dextron, well, or MG. (Hydraulic oil), but still the flow is different.

Yes, it seems I did not notice a significant difference. Although yes, there may be overloads in the master cylinder. Flow rate decreases

But just do those who had a Lada or a Muscovite that is no longer afraid of any technology.

The oil is thicker than the brake. Not in vain, when there was no VD-shki, brakes or kerosene were poured onto the nuts. Good hygroscopicity. Cuffs can be squeezed with oil, and squeezing more difficult.
