Alex,

If I remember correctly, filling up the rear chamber will then spill over 
to the front chamber.  Either way, you need fluid in BOTH chambers up to 
the fill line, and there will be draw from both chambers as you bleed the 
brakes!  (I believe the front chamber is for the front brakes, and the 
chamber close to the firewall is the rear brakes, but I could have that 
reversed)
