think about his for a minute...

now maybe the ideal for truly flushing is to run over 2 liters of fluid
into your drain pan or on the floor (or up Brendans sleeves), but there
simply is not even one liter of capacity in the "containers" involved in
this system, even allowing for the clutch system.  OK, maybe the clutch
will make the process run just over 1 liter.
