Brian....thats NOT where the air gets sucked from...it gets sucked front the threaded area of the bleeder nipple. take off the hose clamp on yout fule line at the lift pump and tell me you don't suck air under hard acceleration. Same principle....its easier to draw air there than pull the weight of the brake fluid in the hose you have attached to the nipple. WHen its loose those threads are not air tight.
