Why does lower have to be filled from bottom?

[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 389369, member: 13599"] I found that if you take a 6" piece of fish aquarium air hose, or, drip irrigation water hose, heat it a little, it will slide right onto the pointed bottle cap. Put the hose on first so you will know how much to cut off the tip. Then, you can easily introduce the oil into the top hole. A small diameter hose allows air to escape without bubbling the oil out. And, you can cut the bottle in half and use it like a funnel. and like said above, let it sit for awhile, rotate the prop, tap it with a wood stick, rubber mallet, etc. and check the level again. It took a real engineer years to perfect this dumb bottom fill idea then even longer to convince every outboard builder to accept it. [/QUOTE]
