That will not work.
The top of the water line in the T-Line tube needs to be upright or air will be allowed to pass by and break the seal. If greenman took the t-line tube in his pic and pulled it down farther the water would not make a solid connection around the entire tube and air would be allowed in which in turn will make the water come out.
I have done this numourous times but I still always like the T-Line to be higher than the rest of the system for 2 reasons.
1) What if a leak happened? Pump casing or gasket fails? Hose clamp not on well? Ooops, water all over the place. Make sure it is capped when finished filling.
2) I find that air bleeds much faster when the t-line is higher than the rest of the system. Maybe that can be a myth, but my personal experience shows it is true.
