Had a buddy with the same deal. We filled the reservoir to the top as Quasi noted, and made our own pressure fitting.
We took a piece of really stiff plastic and cut a small hole into the middle, then cut the outside to fit inside a cap we found that would screw onto the res. Cut a bigger hole into the second cap.
A presta valve from a bike tube has threads on the outside. Double nut a presta valve onto the plastic piece, fit that into the new cap, and screw the whole thing onto the res. Needs to be pretty tight. If you have to, make grommets out of the now destroyed bike tube to help the seals.
With this in place, attatch a bike pump and pump up to about 40 psi. Now pump the pedal under pressure and see how that works out.
Ours worked like a champ. Total cost: nothing, as we stole the tube from an unsuspecting bike pal. I *think* the second cap was from a Gatorade bottle.
Cheers!
Patrick
