So, is this a common "feature" of the inline stat, that it needs a good amount of pressure to get it flowed?
I have used the trick with header tank demounted. But I couldn't get it high enough, so had to undo the little over pressure tube as well.... Well yes,you then have to do it slowly...
Got some air out, but not completely. So things are improved, but not quite good. Have to do it again and properly.
