For some reason i'm thinking it's DOT 4. I read this somewhere. What is the difference b/w 3 & 4? Also can ask Lyn Dyer on the trailer fourm.

[Toypuller]

Dot 3 and 4 can be interchanged or mixed.

Dot 4 has a higher boiling point {wet and dry} than Dot 3. But Dot 3 still rates high enough to be used for trailer brakes.

Dot 2 was for drum brakes only, but it is not used anymore.

Dot 5 is Silicone based and does not mix with Dot 3 or Dot 4.

If I'm wrong please correct me.

I had a leak on my brake line and replaced it. I read some where what to use. I just don't remember what. I do have the bottles in the shed, i'll have to check and see what they are.
