    Need Advice: Crystalized Brake Fluid in Power Bleeder Line

    I screwed up and stored my Motive Power Bleeder with some (not much) brake fluid in the line. It crystalized while stored. I need to clean out the line using something that will dissolve the crystal plugs without leaving a problem residue that will sit in the line and contaminate new fluid flushed through it.

    Anyone have some well-informed ideas?

    In the future I'll blow the line out with compressed air.

    Denatured alcohol? I use it to clean my Motive bleeder and lines after a fluid flush. Not sure if it would dissolve the crystallized fluid.
