Let us know if it works. If not try having somone rev it up to about 1500 or 2000 to bring the level down as you fill it, then cap it before they let it idle normally. Thats what I usually do to jam it in there. Also I heard the resivor has to be about 3 quarters full but maybe thats for the newer cars with the sensor.

I think I remember seeing that mine was a 17lb. Would that screw anything up?
