The Draper Brake Fluid Tester (BFTP) is an essential diagnostic tool for automotive DIYers and professional mechanics who need to quickly verify the condition of their brake fluid. It provides an immediate assessment of moisture content, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency and safety. While it is highly portable and user-friendly, users should note that it requires a separate AAA battery purchase and is intended for periodic testing rather than continuous monitoring.

The tester works with DOT3, DOT4, DOT5.1, ENV4, and ENV6 brake fluids.
No, the device requires 1 x AAA battery, which must be purchased separately.
IP44 means the device is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and is resistant to splashing water from any direction.
The device features an auto-shutoff timer that turns the unit off after 12 seconds to ensure the battery lasts for many testing sessions.
The device uses color-coded LEDs to indicate moisture levels; green usually indicates safe levels, while yellow and red indicate increasing moisture contamination.
Check if the AAA battery is installed correctly and has sufficient charge.
Ensure the probe sensor is clean and free of debris or old residue from previous tests.
The device is programmed to shut off after 12 seconds to conserve power; simply press the button again to perform another test.
To begin using the device, unscrew the battery compartment and insert one AAA battery. The unit is designed for use with DOT3, DOT4, DOT5.1, ENV4, and ENV6 fluids. After each test, it is recommended to clean the probe with a lint-free cloth or a clean paper towel to prevent cross-contamination of samples. Store the device in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is replaced on the probe if provided, though the unit itself is IP44 rated to handle light exposure to workshop fluids.
