So it works on the same suck principle as teh Mighty Vac.B  Could be your
problem.B  I think the most effective are those that push the fluid into the
master by air pressure.B  Probably others on here that like the Mighty Vac
system, but I think it sucks, not to use a play on words. 8^)

It's a tube with a fitting on one end to fit over the bleeder valve. B The
other end has a fitting that has a spring inside with a ball to allow
fluid to go out but prevent backflow of air. B It's worked for me before.
Right now, I don't know where I have air in the system.
