Fill it from the fill plug until it starts coming out. Then it's full.

usually 2 bottles, depending how much spillage you get when you fill it up, it can be a PITA to fill it back up

I usually get three bottles IIRC, but it's been a while since I did one with a stock cover.

It should take over 2 bottles, so buy 3 litres (or quartz).
