Coolant bleeding

Hi guys,

I recently replaced engine fan and follow this guys video.
However when I bleed, I did as he showed but didn't coolant came out as video.

What do you guy think?
So I just filled up through hole and expansion tank and run engine little bit and opened bleed screw and bleed system and closed.

Question is why mine didn't come out coolant as this you tube video?
Just go 36min.

Thanks but if you look his video, he opened the cap, and coolant runs out.
Mine doesn't do that so wondering how many of you guys do same way as his way.

Thanks though

Our tech article is similar for the bleeding process. It says with the bleed screw loosened, fill the expansion tank until fluid begins coming out of the bleed screw. Not too sure, but our bleeding process starts at the 9th paragraph from the bottom here.
