After a leak in my main pressure feed hose, I considered it but then I also figured it would not do much good. That pinhole leak was was slow enough that it took about 20 miles of high-speed driving before it was enough to get the first warning. With a catastrophic leak, at nearly 3,000psi, you'd have to carry gallons of it to do any good. best to just have an auto club membership.

And here I thought 1L can would save me and be enough to make it to the house in an emergency haha!

I recently decided to keep a 1 litre can in the boot after more than 5 years without doing so. I figure it could come in handy to keep the pump from grenading whilst trying to get it on a flat bed truck in an emergency.
It may be wishful thinking but it was left over from an ABC flush I performed and it's likely to be more useful in the car rather than sitting on a shelf in my garage.

I keep a can of it. It's the only vehicle I have that needs it so figure I just leave it where I would need it most.
