Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid with very specific properties. You would have to check the compatibility of the particular fluid with the components in your system. This would include the cylinders, seals, hoses, and any other internal components exposed to the fluid. The best thing is to use the exact fluid that the system manufacture specifies.

Can you use hydraulic fluid for brake fluid?
Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid with very specific properties. Use exactly what the manufacture specifies for your particular braking system.
Can you use a power steering pump for a hydraulic pump for hydraulic cylinders?
can i use power steering fluid in a top motor pump
What type of brake fluid does a case 580 use?
It does not use brake fluid. It uses TCH hydrulic fluid. Brake fluid will swell the origs in the brake piston and either lock them up or leak into the trans axle causeing damage to the transaxles.
What type of Brake fluid do hydraulic brakes use?
hydraulic brake fluid, in the USA any brake fluid that matches DOT 3 standards
Is clutch fluid or brake fluid same?
It can be, a lot of hydraulic clutch systems do use DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.
What type of brake fluid does the pneumatic ABS system use?
Pneumatic = Air! There are brake systems that use a combination of both pneumatic and hydraulic components. In those combination braking systems you would use the hydraulic brake fluid that the manufacture specifies.
Can you use transmision fluid for brake fluid?
Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid with very specific properties. Transmission is also a hydraulic fluid or oil with very different properties. The two are not interchangeable with each other. Use only the fluids specified by the manufacture of your equipment.
Why you use hydraulic jack oil only?
designed for hydraulic jack perhaps power steering fluid would work Brake fluid Ruins pump
What is use to push caliper piston in caliper?
Hydraulic force, transmitted by the brake fluid.
What are some similarirtes between hydraulic and pneumatic systems?
They are both pressurized fluid systems. They both use pumps to pressurize the fluid. They both use piping to contain the fluid, and they both drive motors and cylinders.
What are the uses of brake fluid on a lorry?
Those typically don't use brake fluid - they normally use air brakes. Can't really speak for the UK, but in the US, trucks with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less tend to use hydraulic brakes, while vehicles heavier than that use air brakes. However, many of these vehicles with either manual or automated manual transmissions do use a hydraulic assist clutch, and brake fluid is what's used in those.
The main differences between pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders is that hydraulic cylinders?
Hydraulic cylinder use a liquid medium, often some type of viscous oil, in the cylinders and can be subject to higher pressures then pneumatic cylinders which use air or some other gas and work under a lower pressure.
