I was thinking you might help answer my next question, regarding conservation ecology and brake fluid.... saving a coin is nice but the big motive here is avoiding unnecessary waste.
Can I reuse fluid? I don't mean the stuff in the lines but new fluid spent in the course of bleeding? I was thinking purging existing fluid, then capturing new fluid lost durring bleeding and putting it through a coffee filter or something to save for later?
Like I said, I'm not trying to save the cost of a quart or two, I'm more interested i eliminating unnecessary waste. Any suggestions for filtering and reusing new fluid?

Hope that helps.

Dan I completely disagree that you should dump coolant down the drain. It is a very dangerous fluid as it can taste good to animals and kill them. (Unless you are referring to the used air of an air cooled engine!) I know you are the expert, but are you sure it is a good idea to dump coolant?????????
