I would think as long as the fittings were below the fill point that any air in the res would remain above the fittings at the top.
No, it's like when you empty the bath (ifif you bath! ), you get a Vortex/whirlpool that'll suck air down into it, worse with a stronger pump!. or that's what would happen if the inlet was'nt washing in and creating a maelstrom of bubbles that'll get sucked in as well!.
The probs' are'nt insurmountable, but then I'm biased, I just don't see the point in a Reservoir anyway :shrug: , what benifit does it have over a fillpoint~airtrap?, plus I think you loose some of the push~pull advantage of the inline system if there is air present,(note: I'd fill the airtrap with water after air~bleeding)...

Horses for Courses though ain't it?...
