Not that I have personally tried this method of fluid level checking, but it has been discussed here before. The most common solution seems to be to use a tube and lower it into the fill spout and either blow in the tube, or squeeze a bulb on the tube. When you hear bubbles, you are at the surface of the liquid. So you just need to cut the tube to the proper length, or mark it. Thus, you are measuring from the top down, rather than the bottom up.
Hope that helps. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (412) 268-9081
