Air bubbles in Fuel system?

Could rocking your truck in effort to top it off during fueling cause air bubbles to be introduced to the system? Maybe to the point that it could cause a no start situation?

Nope, only way to get aerated fuel is to have a leak on the lift side of the pump, on the pressure side should have a visible leak or seapage.
