Seems that would resemble the environment the fuel is in better than a big jar of fuel at room temp?

I'm sure you could come up with all kinds of ways to test. I did it this way for a couple reasons. 1, I'm not spending a bunch of my time on a silly subject that honestly is simply just a non issue. 2, that was meant to show the few in here that fuel simply does not disappear into thin air by itself very easily like some eluded to without some sort of excessive heat source, or a leak somewhere. Notice I didn't just give it a tiny vent hole either, I left the lid off of a jar LOL

You guys can go on thinking 4-5 seconds is excessive cranking after a car has sat for weeks and put your pusher pumps on if you wish, I'm not here to tell you otherwise, but there is nothing abnormal about that. These cars were the same way when new. EFI has spoiled the masses. In fact some EFI tunes actually crank for several seconds before they hit just in case you weren't aware. That's the starters job and they are cheap and easy to replace. If you're burning starters up you got other problems.
