    Brake fluid in vacuum tank

    This is not Gatorade...it is about 20 ounces of brake fluid drained from my vacuum tank. I am in the process of slowly converting to front disc brakes, so I will be ordering a new booster/cylinder combo, but would like to know what else I need to be checking/replacing due to this. Tee/check valve and vacuum lines and hoses?

    Also, I am thinking I should rinse the residual brake fluid out of the tank, but not sure what to use?

    Thanks

    No sign of fluid in the booster. Any ideas on how the fluid would get into the vacuum tank?

      Must have cycled through the booster. Use brake clean to remove residue. Replace all vacuum lines.
