Let it sit for a few minutes to make sure you don't have any leaks, then open the fill valve from your coolant bucket. (I use a 5 gallon bucket) It fills the system very efficiently.
Good luck.
Thank you for the response. So, how do you know it's reached "25-30 inches of vacuum"? Is that what's denoted on the gauge? If so, when you start the procedure, what reading will it start with before going to 25-30 inches of vacuum?
