Sta Bil Rust Stopper
I just saw this product on Mecum auction. It looks like a great product to use on our brake and gas lines to help prevent rust.Does anyone have experience using this?
Thanks

If your break system is sealed how can moisture get in? Keep your fuel tank full and the same thing.

I would suggest giving Boeshield a try. It is a waxy, yellowish coating that leaves a finish similar to "cosmolene" seen on European cars prior to shipping them across oceans. Packaged in an aerosol can. I've used it on raw metal adjustment screws on the motor mounts and other applications on the yachts. It would be perfect for the fuel and brake lines running under the car on a C4. Park brake mechanisms too. Developed by the Boeing company. Good stuff.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic and sucks moisture from everywhere. If you leave brake fluid sit for forever, it'll suck up a buncha water and rust your brake lines from the inside out.

Lots of variables here. 3 years is probably a good starting point, or whatever the manual says, or after every track day, or buy one of those test kits for it.
