If you don't check the line from the pump to the carb, how do you find that microscopic rust hole that lets the gas leak partway back to the fuel pump every time the engine gets shut down? I use a piece of rubber fuel line about 2 feet long attached to the line I remove at the carb and hold my catch container away from the air horn and any possible lean backfires, hot manifolds, etc. Like I said, safety awareness and common sense are becoming a pretty uncommon trait these days.
