[Mike Sloane]

The lower tap is for draining off the distillate, then you fill until it 
runs out the upper tap. I always thought that was pretty wasteful, but 
that is how the owner's manual reads. Fortunately, I have never had a 
tractor that was equipped for distillate operation, so it is a "non 
issue" for me.
