I used to use a brake bleeder on my car which was made of aluminum.  I also have a Mighty Vac hand pump that I also used to bleed brakes.  Both of them corroded to the point that I had to throw them away.  Lesson learned......don't let aluminum get in contact with standard automotive brake fluid.

I now have new information, though.  Buna-n is the standard in automotive applications, so any standard automotive fluid should work.  I'll still ask someone more knowledgable than me before I diverge from the 'standard', though.  Standards are a crutch for the ignorant.
