According to Dexter the BrakeRite # T4813102 actuator holds 0.7 quarts of DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. Do remember this is only for the reservoir on the actuator itself. It does not include the amount of fluid you will need for the brake lines, and calipers or servos. The length and inner diameter of all the brakes lines along with the types of brakes is going to be different from trailer to trailer. If unsure of how much total fluid to get to fill all the lines and brakes you can should overestimate as the shelf life on unopened brake fluid is much longer than the life of brake fluid once it goes into the actuator. You can find brake fluid testers at your local automotive parts store so you can check the fluid and know when you should replace the fluid in your trailer.
