Re: 5kcstq hydro system need to be bled?

Hi Wallace;

    That is correct, but it is better to be safe than to get a stream of
Pentosin in the face with 4000 psig behind it. The 40 pumps don't take that
long and will exhaust most bombs (Phil's aforementioned S6 Avant apparently
being an exception).
