Well, tell'm he is 100% wrong. Even without a needle a typical syringe is gong to equalize pressure almost instantly (which is good) and then slowly diffuse fuel out and air back into the syringe. In a few seconds the amount of fuel lost will be unmeasurable even with the proper lab equipment.

I'll save the big, steaming bowl of "I'm right, you're wrong" soup for later ;D
