If you just remove the fluid w/ a suction type thing such as a turkey baster, eye dropper, battery water filler bulb or things of this nature. Get all the fluid out and then clean the bottum of the resevoir w/ some thing clean. Fill it up to the appropriate fill line and your all done. No air will get in the line doing it in this manner. Good luck.
