Don't belive it? Change your fuel filter without filling it with anything. Tighten it, then hit the primer 30 times. No cracking of anything required. Where did the air go? No big mystery.

It might be more obvious if you could see through your clear fuel lines and watch the bubbles.
Huh, I had always thought it was the air escaping the system that could be herd, learn something everyday
