      ACTUALLY 30" or vacuum is 1 psi or just barely over atmospheric pressure.
      Better idea is reverse bleeding with tool from here:http://www.brakebleeder.com/index.ph...=index&cPath=2
      I actually have had the old Maxi Ject(discontinued) and Max Ject Pro Istill have and because they are using my testimonial and pic I got a new model 2002 MaxPro kit.
      The $80 kit and a bottle of fluid can let me reverse bleed or flush a brake system in less than 30 minutes.
      Because we had issue getting a master cylinder for a customers car with really great threads I didnt want to keep opening and closing fittings and such I used my Phoenix injector to reverse bleed the master cyl, installed it and after reverse bleeding the lines to the master , pulled the plastic plugs i had to keep fluid in master. 3 pumps each from wheel bleeders and all air was out. pulled connector off, out comes 3 or 4 bubbles(this car had gotten all new lines) from calipers and tada perfect pedal every time.
      I use my tools religiously and I can re-hard line a car and bleed most of them in 15 minutes or less.
      And if the system has air in it, since brake fluid is hygroscopic(means it absorbs air and moisture) and heat intensifies this, bleeding after say an autocross or road course can help for service and keeps fluid fresh.
