[QUOTE="Happystamps, post: 591113, member: 14679"] It doesn't mention brake fluid on the Wikipedia entry? Anyway, I just looked up the drawings for the brake hoses on the car I'm working on designing ATM :-) "EPDM-PVA-PVA-EPDM" Meaning from the outside of the hose- layer of EPDM, then 2 x layers of PVA, then another layer of EPDM. Then the inner diameter of the hose. The PVA leyers are for structural integrity, to stop the hose from expanding under pressure. We don't have low pressure hoses on this car though, so I can't prove the comparison to the low pressure side. If EPDM isn't compatible with brake fluid, a lot of people are going to die pretty soon... (I'm using EPDM re-inforced hose myself, perfectly fine) [/QUOTE]
