Just my technique.

I can't imagine that there is much pressure restriction in the 5/16" breather line, especially with the volume of air that is being pumped into the tank.

Maybe not but since I'm taking the oil cap off anyway in order to check the oil level its really moot...plus I can hear the gurgle louder.
