Yeah, for some reason this seemingly simple task is often inexplicably =
difficult.
One factor is that the reservoir capacity is so tiny that it is very =
easy to inadvertently empty it and allow air into the system, which =
basically puts you back to square one. It=E2=80=99s like you have to top =
it off after every stroke. Bob=E2=80=99s method sounds helpful in that =
regard.
