Curious, how often do you take off with fuel above max level of tank and
into the fuel cobra (get you over that last bit of forest)?
If you refueled after flight and are going to not fly for a week or more,
and got fuel into the cobra, would you leave it, or drain it?

Hi Ron
I take it you mean the fuel pipe to the filler on a Classic? If so I always
fill up to just below the filler cap level. No, I would not leave fuel in
there overnight I don't trust the jubilee clip that much but I have never
had a problem taxiing and departing with it filled to the top.
Regards
Pete

Hi Ron
I think it best and have replaced the porous cobra with a material that is not absorbant like polyurthane tubing or maybe an aluminum one from NZ. I like the polyurethan because it is clear and you can see when the tank is full.

I have filled up the filler manifold (cobra!?) and left fuel in for an
extended time with no issues or smell. Having the fuel vent on the top of
the manifold routed to under the aircraft helps out when its 105 out and
the fuel expands. I also have the aluminum elbow with double hose clamps.
