Because oils damage rubber seals and hoses in the braking system, brake fluids are not petroleum-based. Most brake fluids used today are glycol-ether based, but mineral oil (Citroën liquide hydraulique minéral (LHM) and silicone (DOT 5) based fluids are also available.
It means that the brake fluid absorbs water. Most all brake fluids you use in you're vehicles, automotive or otherwise will absorb water from the atmosphere right through the brake systems metal and rubber parts. You should change or at the very least, inspect your brake fluids yearly. As water is absorbed into the system, the boiling point lowers and the fluid can do very nasty things to your brake lines, abs systems and master cylinder parts.
if you are talking about brake as in like fourwheeler brakes or car brakes the rubber part would be called the brake pad
NO !! POWER STEERING FLUID IS SIMILAR TO TRANSMISSION FLUID... BRAKE FUILD IS LIKE NOTHING ELSE
You can not use rubber fuel lines to replace the current brake lines due to the high operating pressure. You will need to replace them with brake lines, the rubber brake lines has a different construction to hold the pressure and not getting eaten away by the brake fluid, brake lines can hold over 2000psi when the pedal is heavily applied
They can be mixed together.
No, brake fluid is damaging to the rubber of a tire.

No, do not mix trans and brake fluids. The trans is dextron and the brake fluid is dot3.
No. Brake fluid is not a petroleum product. Power steering fluid is. Petroleum product will swell and ruin rubber part's brake system is full of rubber parts. You will destroy your brake system using power steering fluid.
