I've got a guy here that owns an over the road truck repair shop
that burns waste oil. I take all my flammables to him. Be
careful mixing brake fluid with flammables if its for an oil
burner. Most brake fluids today are glycol-ether based or
silicon, neither of which is flammable. Yes ether is flammable
but it evaporates when not in a sealed system, which is one of
the reasons we need to change it more often than we do, especially
in these older systems which are vented.
TK, before I went thru all the trouble of cleaning and sealing
an old tank I'd seriously look into a new tank, they are not
all that expensive, and you can be sure you are going to get
many decades of trouble free service from it.
