Brake problem diagnosis help.
I am almost 100% sure on this but... Last night on the way home I lost my brakes. The pedal goes to the floor. I checked the resevoir and it is completely full. I pumped the pedal like a madman and cannot find any leaks and the resevoir remains coompletely full. That would mean the master cylider has failed correct?
Also has anyone used Ford extreme duty brake fluid in thier track car? I have heard rumors that it is almost as good as ATE Super Blue?

A bad master would be my bet, too.
I have no experience with the Ford fluid. |

m/c is the most likly culprit if there is no external fluid loss.
The Ford fluid is decent Sherwood has been keeping track of that stuff here for brake fluid specs
