[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 625844, member: 20098"] Partially emptied would be ok, the problem only arises when the level drops to the inlet port of the MC, as this is when air will be pulled into the system and all your hard work is undone. However, the bottom reservoir level can be misleading - the dual circuit ones have a little wall inside them that acts as a weir. This means that a catastrophic leak on either the front or the back system will keep the other system functioning. When bleeding, if not paying attention to the upper reservoir, the lower reservoir can appear to be full, but the other side of the weir is empty. It’s not the easiest to see the level in, and either needs to be very clean, or a very bright light shining through it! [/QUOTE]
