I wouldn't recommend this at all. If the cap doesn't reseal just right, you will be spraying brake fluid all over the place. Since brake fluid "eats" paint, this is never a good idea.
I just fill the reservoir, fill my EZ-Bleed, and pressurize it. Some air may get into the reservoir from the bleeder, but there is a sufficient volume of space that there will always be fluid in the reservoir, even with a small pocket of air above the fluid. Never had a problem getting air into the brake system (except for that time that I ran the EZ-Bleed bottle empty on another car
).
