Based on the amount of 5606 in the C-170 brake system, I wouldn't be too worried about the danger of fire.
Kelly, what would be the "basis of approval" to use this in a C-170 you might suggest for using that product, since it does not claim to meet the specifications of Mil-5606?Kellym wrote:If you want to enhance the safety of your brake system, drain the 5606 from the system, as a fire prone anachronism, and get yourself some much more fire resistant fluid. You can purchase by the quart and/or a gallon at Skygeek.

Aeroshell 31 is another brand, but harder to find by the quart.
