Do you use a fill port or not, if not how do you fill up

[hyperst]

Just wondering who uses a fill port or if you bother or not, if you don't how do you fill up the system, as was going to use a fill port but fittings alone to actualy sort it are going to be quite expensive as space is an issue

normal res inside, just wondered how you cap it after as the water will escape wont it?

I have the EK 150 res, I put a temporary barb in the unused top port and run a length of tube with a funnel on the end. This allows you to tilt the case about whilst fill without risking water slohing out of the res. When full remove the barb and put the blank plug back on.

Same res as me, thats the bit I don't get though as when you remove the tube will the water not just flow out as it sits lower in the system than the rads
