A tip (from my days 30 years ago in chemistry class) -- when pouring
the fluif [sic] into the reservoir, use a clean screwdriver across the
top of the bottle/can to provide a path for said fluif to follow down
into said reservior. I place the tip of the screwdriver on the bottom
of the reservoir, bring the top of the bottle up to the shaft, then
pour slowly so there is no splashing. No bubbles, because the fluid
never falls and splashes.
