Now, take the 2L bottle, drill a whole in the bottom. Plug the whole, fll the bottle with water. Put it upside down and remove the bottom plug. Now see how long it will take to empty.

i totally understand ur example without trying it but it did help me figure out what was going on.
So i can run the breather hose to the outside of the car and let it vent into the air when filling up right? and just plug the hose when driving.?
