$1 brake fluid

[pumpkin]

In today's NY times on-line version, there is an article how Cubans are
keeping vintage Americans cars running. They are supposedly using shampoo
(time to buy P&G stocks?!) for brake fluid.
Is that doable it is a hoax?

might work if it has lots of PEG (some shampoos have them):

Propylene Glycol is considered safe by the FDA and is a petrochemical used in antifreeze and brake fluid. It is a cheap synthetic humectant and emulsifier made from mineral oil.http://www.copperwiki.org/index.php/Ingredients_of_shampoo
