Re: [ihc] White in or out

I thought , the cups for master or wheel cylinders were rubber, and that
fuel lines were neoprene.  If  the fuel lines were indeed rubber would they
not be softened to destruction by gasoline or it's by product?  I was also
told that the brake fluid cups are rubber?

I have seen and used brake CLEANER on tires and watched tire stores do the
same.
