Thanks a lot for clarifying that Stuart. The "rest of the class"
likely understood what you meant but since I use a home brew pressure
bleeder, was curious.

Good to get a PSI value on this as well. I'm careful of how much
pressure I use but over the years, may've been using too much. The
plastic on my '81 fluid reservoir is old !
