Pumps per brake line

Flushing new brake through the pipes one corner at a time, how many pumps of the pedal will ensure new is coming through. I know the colour will change if the fluid is due but not knowing if the current fluid is recent or not I want to make sure new is all the way through. Also considering the different lengths of pipe to each corner. Thanks

Personally I’d just put most of a litre bottle through if it’s not been done before or you don’t know when it’s been done. I usually almost empty the reservoir on each wheel about three times then go round again if there’s much left. Your not supposed to keep it as it attracts water moisture.

I would open bleed nipples and let it all drain out..better still suck it all out, then add new. Cheers
