Simon, The hole is very small but I guess if you have a small enough tube and a lot of time it could work? gary

The problem seems to be that everyone thinks this method will force the air back into some other part of the system. Now, I'm no fizzics perfessor, but empirical evidence gathered over my lifetime would suggest to me that, with all other bleeders and caps closed, opening the radiator bleed hole while there's a bottle of fluid trying to get into it will put fluid into the bleed hole... and force any air OUT THE SAME HOLE. Any fluid dynamical types out there who know a reason why this wouldn't hold true, please post your experiences... -Simon
