you can cut it off....it adds extra run time and can keep the fuel cool before it reaches the carb...i trimmed mine down to make it neater...if you cut it, take it all from one end so you have extra line..always a good thing to have...

It is there to give you extra run time when you are on the lid. If you flip upside down the tank is no longer pulling fuel....so the longer your line is....the better chance you have of getting it flipped back over before it stalls out and dies. If it is not hurting anything or relly bad in the way I would recommend leaving it there.
