On another note:
This is why I tell people to check their fuel lines, fittings, and clamps on a regular basis. All it takes is for one drip of fuel to cause an engine fire.
With a Cobra, and this may seem like overkill, but you should go around and tech the car at least once a month, or every other month, depending on your use. All of the vibrations you feel in your hands, and in the seat of your pants (skirts/dresses) are working on each and every fastener on the car.....
Just food for thought.

PS: Those with builds older than 5 years should consider replacing fuel line with something that is ethanol compatible, as the older fuel lines deteriorate due to the blended fuels now on the market.
PSS: Those with builds older than 10 years old should consider replacing fuel lines due to their age.
