[align=left]Looking at that picture, when the piston moves to the left, the fluid would come out of the left eqaully as the rightside would suck it in,it would be a equal amount of fliud transfer...I don't understand why it wouldn't work.[/align]

ok well how about you go try it... i'm re-thinking one of my previous posts and now leaning towards adders theory on the resevoir. i think the suction would kink the hose.

There would not be suction issues. There would be equal transfer of fluids, unless you didn't have it full(then there would be suction issues) You are going to have pressure pushing fliud into the side sucking, and if your worried, use a peice of metal tube.....Who cares. I think it will work

i found the problem. the hose had some cracks on top of it causing the fluid leakage. my dad put some rubber cement type thing on it and wrapped it in some weird tape. its holding up for now until i can get some cash to replace the hose.
