I am looking for data on compressibility and air release characteristics of DOT 4 or similar glycols vs. DOT 5 silicone fluids.

Application: very small system, maybe 2 or 3 cubic inches, where heat and boiling points are not important at all. However, stiffness and the ability to easy bleed it of tiny air bubbles is the important factor.

Granted, the connecting hose is probably the softest part of the system, but every little bit helps.
