The problem seems to be that everyone thinks this method will force the
air back into some other part of the system.
Now, I'm no fizzics perfessor, but empirical evidence gathered over my
lifetime would suggest to me that, with all other bleeders and caps
closed, opening the radiator bleed hole while there's a bottle of fluid
trying to get into it will put fluid into the bleed hole... and force
any air OUT THE SAME HOLE.
Any fluid dynamical types out there who know a reason why this wouldn't
hold true, please post your experiences...
