CHAPTER 17 Preventive Maintenance and Service Procedures REVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: 1. Why should brake fluid not be filled above the full or MAX level as indicated on the master cylinder reservoir? (Text page 143) Brake fluid must not be filled above the “MAX” level indicated on the master cylinder reservoir because brake fluid expands when heated. During braking, the brake fluid gets hotter and expands. There needs to be room in the master cylinder reservoir for the fluid to expand. 2. Why should brake fluid be kept in an airtight container? (Text page 143) Brake fluid must be kept in an airtight container because most brake fluid absorbs moisture from the surrounding air, which lowers its boiling point. 3.

If an engine at sea level produces 100 horsepower, how many horsepower would it develop at 6,000 feet of altitude? (Text page 167) An engine loses 3% of its power for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Therefore, at 6,000 feet, an engine would lose 18% (3 × 6 = 18) or 18 hp. Therefore, if an engine develops 100 hp at sea level, that same engine will produce 82 hp when operating at 6,000 feet altitude. 5. What is the definition of horsepower? (Text page 168) One horsepower was determined to be the power required to move 550 pounds one foot in one second or 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute (550 × 60 seconds = 33,000 pounds per minute).
