Default Brake advice needed urgently

Right, started to bleed the brakes last night to replace all fluid with better stuff.

All sides went well except the front left brakes where tiny bubbles appear.
Ive pumped almost 2 litres of fluid through this circuit and bubbles still apear.

So now i need suggestion on what could be wrong.

Here is what i did last night if that could have someting to do with it.

Im using a bleeder bottle with non-return valve.

1. Unscrew lid on brake fluid canister
2. Open up front left bleed valve
3. Pumped out below MIN-mark as i was gonna fill up new anyway. (was this stupid?)
4. Filled up with new fluid
5. Bleed front left, big bubbles quickly went away but tiny ones kept coming
6. Tried bleeding front right instead, tiny bubbles for a while but went away after ive pumped some more
7. Left and Right rears bleeded with no bubbles using ABS-pump.
8. Tried bleeding front left again but never get rid of the bubbles.



Please come with suggestions on what i should do? (Ive already thought about setting it on fire)


See pic below of my carbonated brake fluid.
