An automobile hydraulic braking circuit comprises two reservoirs in addition to the main hydraulic fluid reservoir. One additional reservoir can replenish the other which in turn can replenish the main hydraulic reservoir. A peristaltic pump controls fluid flow to the main reservoir from the adjacent additional reservoir. Probes in the additional reservoirs operate in conjunction with control circuitry to inhibit operation of the pump to prevent contaminated fluid from being supplied to the main reservoir.

Fluid supply apparatus comprising: a first fluid reservoir; a second fluid reservoir; a fluid connection between the two reservoirs; an intermediate tank disposed in the fluid connection between the two reservoirs; a pump disposed in the connection for pumping fluid from the first to the second reservoir; probes in the first fluid reservoir and in the intermediate tank for sensing the presence of an electrically conductive contaminant; and control circuitry for preventing operation of the pump when a containment is sensed.
