easy to prove as well . Prime it , start it , kill it and then pull the fuel line off and it will squirt for a good 3+ seconds... pressure builds in the tank and its not from evaporation, not that much pressure that fast. I can shake the gas can and open and still not have pressure like that. But again, Im no pro, just what Ive experienced.
Try pulling a fuel line off a cold 2 stroke... will still spurt 99% of the time... you can have a tank with the cap on tight, and the carb not connected, and it will slowly push fuel out of the fuel line without any outside pressure aside from the evaporative properties of fuel....

Squirts out really fast when you pump it up like a Coleman lantern
