This takes place while the cap is still at it's relief pressure (open)? Most caps open at 15psi... I did a lil looking and normal atmospheric is 14.7psi. This seems to be throwin a wrench in the works! More explainin please... Better yet tell it like I'm a 4 year old. Maybe I can get my kid to help. (I'd throw a smiley in there but don't know how)
