From what I understand, it rots the crap out of the brake lines. We had a car that it did this too 2 years ago. The one shop that I had do an exhaust to my '74 bronco last fall said he went though 2000 feet of steel brake line replacement to client cars last year. I see one problem in that somebody is going to get killed from failed brake lines and the state is going to end up with a lawsuit. Yeah, you can tell this has been a sorry issue with me ever since they decided to use it here.

Hate to say it , but it has been my experience that it really eats the Ford brake lines. May just be the luck of the draw for me , or may be Ford has been cheaping out on brake lines. Cheaping out , I know it is a well known issue , documented by Navistar , Ford directed them to cheap out on the oil pans for the 7.3L diesels , they have a rust through issue now. Costs $2k to replace the oil pan .... motor has to pulled.
Back to the brake lines ...
Several company vehicles , personal vehicles and my folks Taurus , all Fords , none of the others , GM , imports , etc.
Just my experience.
