From t1rerack.com upon adding a can of ATE Super Blue racing brake fluid to my cart...
"NOTE TO FLORIDA RESIDENTS ONLY: ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid, due to its blue color, cannot be registered in and is not DOT-approved for street cars in Florida."
Hmph?!? These kind of differences in state-to-state law always crack me up.

What the heck difference does it make if it's blue?!

When regular DOT approved amber brake fluid degrades it gets darker so it's very easy to tell if the fluid is very old (i.e., high water content). Not so with Super Blue. Ask most any service station mechanic and you'll hear stories of people bringing their cars in for service with brake fluid so old it turned dark brown. No way to "sight test" Super Blue.

I've seen Super Blue after about 4 years and heavy use in a car and you can definitely tell the difference between it and new Blue. It too gets darker, not as clear, and generally takes on a dirty tinge,....similar to amber. Maybe not quite as evident as amber, but any semi-moron should be able to tell, but then again you never know who you're dealing with at some service places

Just telling you the objection to street use of non-amber brake fluid. There was a rumor on auto boards several years ago that the DOT would prohibit Blue for street use whiich would reduce demand and thus end production. Caused a little run on suoply, but obviously it hasn't happened, yet.
