Filling System The PFM III uses a snorkel filling system. The snorkel works in combination with the Touchdown filling system. Unscrew the knob on the end of the barrel to extend the snorkel, pull out the piston, immerse the tip of the snorkel in ink, and push the piston down. Wait 10 seconds to allow the bladder to expand and pull the ink in. Then turn the knob to retract the snorkel. No need to wipe ink off of anything. The filling system works well with excellent suction. Restored with a new sac, point gasket and O-ring.
