Helpful Expert Reply:

According to Demco, you will want to fill the brake fluid reservoir 3/4 of the way full with new DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. If you are bleeding the brakes, you will want to check the brake fluid level to ensure that it remains above half full during the bleeding process. Once you have finished bleeding the brakes, you can fill it to 3/4 full.
