There are a couple of Humvee:s stranded at a shop i Ukraine due to a
lack of brake fluid.
A quick google search shows both DOT 5 and DOT 5.1 being used for these,
DOT 5 for vehicles without ABS and DOT 5.1 for vehicles with ABS. These
are apparentlöy non-ABS.
DOT 5 brake fluid appears to be unobtainable in Ukraine, and not easy to
find in Sweden either, and very expensive if you do find it.
Is the US armed forces still using DOT 5 or have they been converted to
5.1? I assume there should really be a problem flushing the DOT 5 and
filling the system with 5.1, or?
I have sourced DOT 5 for the stranded ones and will bring them to
Ukraine, but perhaps they can just convert to 5.1 in the future?
Cheers,
Thomas
