H guys Can anyone explain how the self priming fuel system works?

Part of ongoing issues, when key is in ignition position just before cranking I can hear a loud hissing noise that appears to be down near alternator. Could it be the self priming fuel system? Would that then imply air getting into system overnight? It's the opposite side to FBH.
