this is basic science... if u suck on a waterbottle and then close the cap before it has a chance to replace the water with oxygen (fuel pump/injector effect) ... air will rush straight in when u open it up again (gas cap effect) ... u dont really want oxygen in your tank as it helps the gasoline go stale and ull be hitting air bubbles when ur on the last drop, so the bigger the pressure release the better, just open your cap and fill up when you run out, try avoid lots of fills while you already have gas.
