ORPH,
Yes, you are correct in assuming that the overflow hose needs to be eliminated from the system during bleeds. If not, as you noted, all of the new fluid will be wasted.
I regularly use a pressure bleeder on my 911 SC and have come up with a simple solution. I cut a short length (about two inches) of flexible vinyl tubing with the same inside diameter of the overflow line. I hose clamped a bolt into one end of this piece of tubing. When I need to bleed the brakes, I remove the overflow line from the reservior and replace it with the short hose/bolt combo. This piece can just be pushed on, not clamped. I haven't had it forced off during bleeding.
Good luck,
Jess
