It took me a while to figure out that the picture is 90 deg turned to the left and I'm looking at the line running from the fuel heater to the filter assembly.

On my car, there's always a bubble like this when the engine is off. On start up, it disappears.

I believe that the bubble "lives" in the top of the filter housing where it can't move on through the system. Then it reverses slightly into the inlet line when there's no more draw from the lift pump.
