Top Fluid Level Discussion

It would be like saying, "I drove 6 miles. Now, without you knowing how long it took me, calculate my average speed."
I might add that your bringing up the point about the rods occupying some of the volume in the cylinder was a great point, and explained the different levels in the reservoir. I think the thread took a wayward turn when it got into "rate of flow" and I kept waiting for someone to bring up the issue of "time". After two or three days, I felt compelled to bring it up, because, as I said, I had and have the distinct impression just from operating my top that it takes longer to open than it does to close, so that the time interval, not being identical, has to be accounted for in "rate of flow".

I think we've beat this 'top line - bottom line' thing to death. I experienced a down position failure and refilled to 'in between' and it still doesn't work. I'll add some more juice.
