Be careful with the brake fluid. Most states list it as a hazardous waste. Before giving it to you , the service manager should have it profiled as Non-haz. Both you and him are potentially at risk (legally) unless the proper paperwork has been completed and filed. While it is well and good that you have been given this for a coolant, you and the service manager could be inviting a visit from the local environmental agency.
There are two types of brake fluid, ether based and trichloretheylene1.1.1. based. The trichlor 1.1.1. is an 'ozone depleting substance' fairly nasty stuff. It's prevolant in older vehicles. Due to the environmental laws though, all brake fluid is treated as equally icky stuff.
Make very sure that the waste brake fluid doesn't come in contact with anything even resembeling pool chemicals or bleach or even ammonia. Any combination will ruin your day...Long term... Be VERY carefull. I messed with these chemicals for a living for over a decade as hazardous waste specialist/technician. The potential exists for your whole day to be ruined.
Do your homework and be careful!
