Bleedin' da brakes questions Options

[ahdoman]

Hey all,
Just a couple of brake bleeding questions and a little background as to why I am doing this; Just finished installing the 5 lug conversion in the front (carrera brakes). So I had to unhook the brake lines (lost a little on the garage floor) and the newly rebuilt calipers need to be bled.
1) This is a long shot but; my brake fluid is blue in color. Any guesses as to what kind it is? I'd like to use the same DOT formula and not have to bleed the entire system.
2) If I do have to bleed the entire system how much fluid does the 914 hold and any recommendations for brake fluid?
3) I still have my proprtioning valve in place. What are the chances that the rear brake lines were effected? I am hoping to just bleed the front for now and bleed the rear brakes when I do the 5 lug conversion on the rear later this week.

Thanks for your help.

I use the ATE blue and the gold, I switch back and forth to make it easy to tell when I have all clean new fluid coming out. The blue is called Super Blue Racing, the gold is called Typ 200. The specs are identical, the only difference is that the blue looks really cool. It's only going to take another 10 minutes to bleed the rears too, You might as well do it all, but you can get away with just doing the fronts for now. 1 quart should do it, even if you bleed them twice, but it's only about $12.00 a quart, If you have to order it you might as well order 2 just in case and you'll have enough for next time.
