Okay, I sort of thought about that (sort of).  I
guess I'll do it the old-fashioned way and hope
for the best.  Listmember Mike Collum suggested a
great way to top off after bleeding by using a
milk jug and a very tightly fitted line into the
bottom of it.  I'm going to do it Mike's way and
call it good.
