SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE TESTING THE BRAKES AND LIGHTS ON A 7,000 LB GVW TRAILER THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. INVESTIGATION SHOWED BRAKE FLUID FROM BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT AND ABOVE THE GAS TANK. THE BRAKE LINE OVER THE GAS TANK RUSTED THROUGH AND BURST. ANOTHER 5 MINUTES I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON MOUNTAIN ROADS WITH NO BRAKES AND PULLING A TRAILER. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE. ALSO A DAYS WORK WAS LOST BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO TRAVEL 130 MILES HOME FOR MY COMPANION TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. *TR
