Newbie Question

This maybe a dumb question to some, but I was thinking the other day. (Look out when I start thinking).





When I change my fuel filter, I put in a new filter, replace the filter cap and tighten it down, bump the key twice, then start it up. Where does all the air go that was in the empty fuel filter bowl? It must bleed off somewhere.

It goes through the kinuter valve, jk, think it goes down the return line and out some pressure vent on the fuel pump. Just my guess, but seems right.
