Really?

How much should I cut off? How much capacity is actually needed for proper function?

It seems so simple :D

Yeah, I cut off a bit of mine too (after picking up a spare reservoir neck from Subaru, about $12) when I had my TMIC in there.

The reservoir is just that, a reservoir. I only cut off up to one of those lines, but you should theoretically be able to cut off as much as you want. You just have that much less reserve fluid.

Well I am going to try it today and see if I cant get the car started sometime today.

Thanks for your help.

Even though this is in the parts shed, it sure was cheap :-D
