i have got a 1983 chevrolet sportscoach, my question is, does anyone know how you add/ check the fluid in it. like to have never found it and it is in a place up under the gas pedal that is very hard to get to. is there a trick, please help.

If it's where I think it is, use a mirror to check the level, and you can buy a hose/pump to fill if needed. The hose kit fits a gallon can (!), which is what I have (I work in a shop). I suppose if you were adventurous you could have an assistant hold a pint bottle in the air, and siphon brake fluid into the reservoir if needed. The voice of experience says brake fluid doesn't taste very good...

The auto stores sell a cheap pump for use with gear oil, but it will work for a time with brake fluid. Eventually the brake fluid will cause the pump to quit, but they aren't very expensive.

They are effective down to 0.01 micrometers in many cases, but become ineffective for particles smaller than 0.01 micrometer...
