I don't think Bentley would help you anyway. I recently found 
the system capacity listed somewhere (I think it was the AllData 
CD), but I forgot the number. It doesn't really matter, though. 
When I flushed my system, I got a little less than a liter out 
by completely discharging the bomb (replacing it, actually) and 
running the steering back and forth with the wheels off the 
ground and engine off. There was old fluid still in the pump and 
some of the lines. I just sucked the stuff out of the reservoir 
as I was purging the system, then I refilled it with clean stuff 
before starting the engine, topping off as the new fluid was 
dispersed through the system.

For a really thorough flush, you might want to have 2 liters on 
hand. Type 44 owners: keep in mind that your cars probably have 
a slightly higher capacity.
