Saw a neat trick in my Mustang magazine just t'other day...
Take two short pieces of spare brake line with fittings and screw them
into the output holes of the master cylinder.
Curve the free end up and over to feed back into the reservoir. Make it
long enough that the free end reaches below the level of the fluid.
When you bleed the (already clean) master cylinder you can watch the
bubbles in the reservoir, AND you don't have to keep refilling. >>

Not being a British Car mechanic by trade, I don't do this very often.
Experience is the greatest teacher. NOW I know better! The recycle thing
does sound like a neat idea. I hope all you newbies are listening.
