Re: Pentosin Capacity

[Phil and Judy Rose <pjrose@servtech.com>]

I agree with Eric on this. Two liters should be plenty, based on my recent
use of just a bit over _one_ liter to refill a '91 200q to the max mark
after the following chores: (1) drain reservoir, (2) install/prime resealed
PS pump, and (3) install new bomb. Of course it will also depend somewhat
on exactly what you mean by "flush". And also on how "flush" you are. :)
