It is usually located in the bak of the engine bay, the closest to the driver. 76.66.180.46 (talk) 23:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pressure

The pressure is NOT created in the reservoir, but in the brake lines leading to the wheel cylinders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.119.10 (talk) 03:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Also, there are no primary and secondary cylinders. In a four-wheeled vehicle two in-line pistons operate two independent circuits, each one acting upon two wheels.
In case of failure of a brake line only two wheels will be slowed, usually one front wheel and the rear wheel on the opposite side. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.102.117.124 (talk) 05:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
