Do you leave this on or pull it out and reseal with the cans original cap?

Plus, the bike will stink as well. That said, those hoses deteriorate with oxy fuel and get brittle and will crack. Problem is, you take that hose off and it still stinks. The ethers in the fuel are pretty stable, but its still best to run through these fuels asap.
