No, you've got it right. The fuel doesn't evaporate through the pipe (much,
anyway) because gasoline vapor is much heavier than air.

You'll need ordinary fuel-grade hose to replace the flexible section, though
I expect it'll be a little harder to find that large (around 15mm, if I

It wouldn't surprise me. A second opening creates airflow by convection.
That'll pull some fuel with it.
