What is air-actuated brake?
Air-actuated brakes are brakes where the braking fluid used is air instead of brake oil. This is not favored as air (gas) has a weaker response than brake oil (liquid) and compromises the safety and reliability of the system.
Can you buy brake fluid at a gas station?
Yes, most gas stations carry a generic form of brake fluid.
What property of gases makes the brakes fail if air gets into the brake fluid?
Gas is compressible while liquid is not. So if you get air in your brake line, which is a hydraulic system, it will not be able to exert the needed pressure on the brake pads making them less effective.
What happens when you pour brake fluid in the gas tank?

What is the difference between a throttle cable and a brake cable?
The throttle cable goes from the 'gas' pedal to the carburetor or throttle body to control the speed of the engine. On cars the brake cable goes to the emergency brake, on some motorcycles the brake cable goes to the brakes. (The main brakes for cars and some motorcycles are hydraulically operated, not by a cable.)
