    so what are you planning on doing? plug or loop it? i'd loop it so there's more P/S fluid flowing around.

    There will be no extra fluid around whats in the rack an thats it

    how installing a EMPTY hose going to give it more fluid when there isnt any in the hose?

    Your actually trapping air in the system that way

    mmm fill up the hose to the best of your abilities. i've always been told to loop it and that's what i did. And my advices are based upon my experience. =P i dont doubt your plugin plan either.
