What happens when you mix Clorox and brake fluid?
Most times, nothing. This is a confusion of the real question "What happens if I mix Pool Shock and brake fluid?". Answer: smoke and then fire. Clorox and pool shock are both oxidizers - lots of oxygen in it's molecular makeup waiting to combine with something. The difference is that pool shock is 50% - 60% reactive, Clorox is only 4% - 5% reactive. Brake fluid absorbs water from the air. The pool shock reacts with that water creating heat. The heat causes the brake fluid to smoke and if it gets hot enough, it will burst into flame. Note: This is a seriously strong chemical reaction. Fire hazard, burns, smoke inhalation, dangerous chemical waste, etc. can result if you try this. You have been warned!
I Put dot 3 brake fluid in antifreeze how bad is it?
If you put the brake fluid in the overflow reservoir just empty the reservoir and pour in a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. If however you put it in the radiator itself, I would recommend you drain the radiator and refill. Brake fluid is corrosive and may damage the water pump seal.

What brake fluid do you put into a saxo 1.1?
The brand is not important, but look for brake fluid with Dot4 specification. This will mix happily with lower spec Dot3, which you probably have.
Where do you put brake fluid on 1999 Saab 9.5?
if your brake fluid is low, you probably need to replace your brake pads. If your pads are good and you fluid is low, you have a leak somewhere. By replacing your pads, the brake fluid level will rise to the proper level. If you add fluid now, then replace your pads, brake fluid will leak out the top of your fluid reservoir and most likely eat the paint off what ever it spills on. Brake fluid and car paint DO NOT MIX.
What happens when you mix water and starch?
You get oobleck, which is a non-Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid has properties of both a solid and a liquid and reacts to stress with increased viscosity.
