      the bottle is the highest point in the system. idle the car with the heat on, squeeze the upper rad hose to see if you produce bubbles, and then wait for it to boil or expand to the top of the bottle. That should do it..

      you may want to warm up the car and then turn the heat on.. if its cold enough out, the heater core will keep the engine from getting hot.
