Any fluid other than brake fluid will ruin the master cylinder, abs unit, brake hoses, and calipers.
What is the difference between horsepower and brake horsepower?
Horsepower refers to the total power at the driven wheels of a vehicle whilst brake horsepower refers to the net output power posessed by its engine.Further AnswerThe above answer is not altogether correct, because the horsepower is simply the Imperial unit of measurement for power. These days, in most countries, it has been replaced by the watt (or, in practice, kilowatt), which is the SI unit (1 hp = 746 W). 'Brake' refers to the output (as opposed to input) power of a machine. In the case of a car, the brake horsepower (or kilowatts) is the power remaining, after losses due to heat transfer, etc., have been taken into account. In other words, output power (brake power) is input power minus losses.
What is kilowatts in a car?
A watt is simply the SI unit for power, and the horsepower is the Imperial unit for power. Power is simply the rate of doing work, so there is no such thing as 'electrical' or any other, 'sort' of power. In Europe, a car's engine output power ('brake power') is expressed in kilowatts as the horsepower is considered obsolete.
Can you be able to brake with a vacuum leak in the brake booster?
If the vacuum leak is small, then yes the brake booster will still function well enough to assist the braking action. However, if the vacuum leak is very large, or if the brake booster rubber diaphragm is ruptured , then the brake booster will be inoperative and you will NOT have power assist to the brakes. It's wise to just replace the power brake booster with a new unit if there is an internal leak in it, to avoid an accident due to a loss of braking power.
How many CC equal to 1 Horsepower?
that depends on the engine. A CC just stands for cubic centimeters, which is referring to the engine size. That isn't the defining thing for Horsepower. HP is a unit of power, CC is a unit of size. Assuming the 1 HP is representing brake power and the Mean Effective pressure is defined or available then, The CC or Volume Displacement can be defined by using this formula: Brake Power= Brake Mean Effective Pressure X Volume Displacement (CC)

How do you bypass the brake light switch on a 1998 Cadillac Catera?
If your attempting to install a DVD player (in dash) in your car and need to bypass the brake light wire in order to be able to play it while driving its not too difficult. the brake light wire goes hot when the brake is applyied (to power the brake light itself) the DVD player uses this wire to know when the brake light is on or off based on if the wire is "hot" or not. simply splice the wire into a constant power source like the main power wire to your in dash unit.
What is the difference between a brake booster and power brakes?
The brake booster is part of the power brake system.
