I pump it up to 30-35. Also, if you are putting fluid in the bleeder tank, make sure when you are done to unscrew the top of the bleeder from its tank BEFORE unscrewing the adapter from the master cylinder. If you do it the other way around, brake fluid will go everywhere.
Z Stig and osbornsm like this.

I just wanted to chime in here... Mike gives good advice and I have taken a lot of it, but I went to 30 doing this and blew the seal on the reservoir... MY MC was on the way out and I replaced it after this, but just wanted to share this. Be careful exceeding recommended pressures.
