I have been in two different vehicles when a brake line ruptured from rust/age. (99 Saturn/2002 Chrysler) Fortunately, both times the cars were not moving. Why is it when a line breaks the pedal goes to the floor and there is no braking force applied to the good lines? Aren't all the master cylinder valves/ports separate? Isn't that the reason there is a separation in the master cylinder reservoir? So, the front or rear will always have fluid to stop the car in case there was a rupture. Both times this happened to me there was absolutely no braking applied. On a side note I think stainless or Nickel/copper should be mandatory from the factory. All these new safety devices and cheap out brake lines.
