Pressure bleeder
While constructing my own version of a pressure bleeder I started wondering how to actually use it ... You guys will know
The pressure bottle has a one-way valve (Dutch viewers will recognize it immediately) through which the bottle is pressurized by a handpump with manometer. The hose connection has some solid tubing extending to the near bottom. The other end of the hose connects to a spare brakefluid reservoir cap (BTW almost all European Opel/GM caps will do, a lot cheaper and easier to find). What is bothering me is what will happen with the air that will be in the system at the start? Do you fill up the hose connection with brake fluid first (ie pressurize the bottle a bit) before you screw the cap on? Any suggestions as to properly use this thing are highly appreciated ... after all it's the breaks
