You'd still have air in the bottle, no? I guess you could leave the cap slightly loose and vacuum the air out of the bottle and bag, then tighten the bottle while still in the bag?
How about a glass jug with a spigot at the bottom and a seal that moves down with each use? Or a cheap large syringe and squeeze out the air with each use?
I wonder if we can overthink this one some more?
If I were to try and save it,which I would not,is too: Leave the Seal on,then take a ToothPick and Poke a Small(but big enough)Hole in the Center. From there you have many options. Metal Tape,Silicone etc.

the idea is to limit the amount of air (and therefore moisture) it is exposed to. it's not like there isn't air in the bottle when it's factory sealed.
That remind’s me Brother.
Youall know what is the easiest way to Remove Gorilla Tape From Hell Residue is right?
Or Any Sticky Shit From Hell for that matter.

I guess you could just shove some saran wrap down into the bottle until some fluid spills out and screw the cap down over top of that. #smrt
I guess I should go fluid shopping before embarking on my Dominion install mission. I'm a little choked to have a near full bottle lying around from this summer...

Or just store it in a ziplock bag with some desiccant in it. I expect a little more from a fellow Wet Coaster on how to keep things dry.
place opened brake fluid in larger, sealable container
purge container of air with pressurized nitrogen blanket
?????

(or just use brakes that use mineral oil)

It's nitrogen, like in my tires.
PUT SOME CARBON AIR IN THERE!

The properties of gas in a cavity are considered unchangeable, so modifying the stiffness of an air spring is usually done by altering the chamber inner geometry as described. But what if you could change the behaviour of air? This is where sorption comes into play, the key ingredient to Carbon Air suspension products.

Carbon Air has been making products for the air suspension in Audi's A6 and A7 cars since 2017. Now, they're developing their product for mountain bikes.

No, I honestly think Trump is still head of the military in a secret underground Mara Lago bunker.you honestly think they're nitrogen flushing bottles of DOT fluid before sealing them?
It could be dehydrated air, just saying...you honestly think they're nitrogen flushing bottles of DOT fluid before sealing them?
Why wouldn't they? I've used modified inert atmosphere (nitrogen) for confectionery, coffee, seafood, pharmaceuticals, medical instruments and fresh meals. At the very least they'd probably vacuum the bottle slightly. Pharmaceuticals and food industry do this shit all the time for shelf life on relatively cheap products. I'd nearly guarantee its done on chemicals and hygroscopic fluids, especially if they're subject to randomised QA checks for certification purposes.you honestly think they're nitrogen flushing bottles of DOT fluid before sealing them?
I've got a mate working for a major manufacturer here, I'll ask them what they're doing. I'm pretty sure one of the machines I refurbished and sold went to a place that does cosmetics.
Salt and heat for gas
why wouldn't they? cost. for the amount of headspace we're talking it would be far cheaper to bottle and seal in a low RH environment than to nitrogen flush.
and yes, I've been working with MA packaging for years. for a while I was working on bioresorbable implants that were oxygen sensitive.

good to know. that being the case I'd expect it's more prevalent among the high end brands.RBF 600 BRAKE FLUID - Motul New Zealand

Yeah I'd wager the cheaper gas station stuff just gets filled with a funnel and bucket out in a paddock somewhere.
Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny
compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything.
You talk about the carbon footprint — fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing.
Whether it’s in China, Germany, it’s going into the air. It’s our air, their air, everything —
right? So they make these things and then they put them up.
