I've always done it that way. I suppose there could be a problem, but I've
never seen one. I'll tell you for sure that if there's an air bubble it's a
little one, when I drain the thing it always seems to have far more oil in it
than it should hold--especially if I don't get the drain pan in the right
place. I do, of course, make sure my oiling system is full by pre-running the
pump with a drill before I open the Accusump and start the motor for the first
time.
