It absorbs moisture from the air, which causes internal corrosion. <br><br>\u3010Ethylene glycol, the main component of brake fluid, has the property of absorbing water vapor from the air. The rate at which it absorbs this water vapor is called the hygroscopic rate. <br> It&#8217;s similar to how we call the proportion of water vapor in the air humidity.\u3011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC03247.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41205\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even before this state, it wasn&#8217;t returning, so it seems like it&#8217;s probably clogged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC03248.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41207\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hole in the return port here is open.
