Well i got bored from damn studying for my tests. So tried making my own reserviour out of scraps i had laying around.

u think this would work?:

its simply a Tee joint for plumbing which i found in the garage ...2 spare 1/2" barbs i had, which by luck fit inside 2 of the holes ...and a lid, which i took off some random bottle ...which also fits nicely by luck :D

Wow thats a very nice idea! :) Im sure it will work very nice, just be sure that it is the highest point in your WC system..

i had to replace the lid, since that one broke becuz i overtightened, but now i got a better one.

i had the idea for a while, and was thinking of making it out of pure steel plumbing material from the local DIY store, but then i thought it wud be too heavy ...and why pay when i had this already :D

after breaking my old res. i now have everything i need again to reassemble my WC circuit, so i'll re-install it all very soon :D

how big is it? i would call that more of a tee-line for filling than a resevoir, unless it holds a fair amount of water.

its 10cm tall in total, including the length of the protruding barb. 7cm ...only the base. Indeed it's not a reserviour ...just theres no other word to describe it :p:, it only holds a tiny amount of water, but thats all thats needed i guess, since im gonna fill/bleed my system before i put i put it in, so it shudn't be a problem.
