You missed Rocky's point. You're not re-using freshly BLED fluid -
you're re-using FRESH FLUID. It's not brake fluid that has been sitting
in the car for x months, you just put it in (after a drain & flush).
I am going to try Rocky's method the next time I bleed. It seems like
a really good idea IMO.
