Repeat until level is 25-75% (edit: or whatever you fell comfortable with) between the dots. Just about every hardware store sells siphon bulb pumps (think squeeze bulb on blood pressure cuffs) for ~$5. You may need to get some smaller outside diameter (OD) tubing to fit down the dip tube.
Well i figured if im half a quart or less ill be able to sleep at night w/o going through the trouble. Thats why i'm wondering about how much over i am.
