		<description><![CDATA[ 	Bad Gas
By Mark Shively
Gasoline goes bad with time and in as little as 3-4  weeks. This effect is    known as varnishing. Jets and passageways within carbs  become obstructed    when varnishing occurs.
Liquid gasoline changes chemically into a gel like substance.  Advanced    stages of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Mark Shively
This is very common and often causes brakes to over-heat, fade, and even fail.
What happens is with time brake fluid changes chemically into a solid gel or in severe cases a crystal powder. The gel or powder expands against seals and seals are pressed against caliper pistons and prevent pistons from returning completely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 	By Mark Shively
Vacuum bleeders sometimes are more troublesome than efficient. Other times they work well. The old school way to bleed is to allow the master cylinder to purge the system of air. This may be slow at times, but effective.
To begin, flush the existing brake/clutch fluid from the reservoir. Pump it through the [...]]]></description>

Bleeding the system:
Use high quality DOT 4 brake fluid (or preferred type) from a sealed container. Remove the old fluid from the master cylinder reservoir. Use a cooking type squeeze bulb baster to remove the bulk of the fluid from the reservoir. Use a clean paper towel to remove any remaining fluid. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 	By Mark Shively
Over time, non-synthetic or mineral brake fluids change chemically into a gel-like solid that obstructs and affects brake system passageways, grooves, and components.
If left untreated, the gel-like solid eventually changes chemically into a crystal-like substance. Once brake fluid reaches these latter stages, etching of the caliperâ€™s and master/slave cylinderâ€™s machined surfaces occurs.
