I still need to cut a small amount of length off the nozzle if I need to use it a few weeks later.
If not using it for a few months then I replace the nozzle with a new one.
Hope this helps.

Enjoyed the Donnington show, particularly on the Sunday, nice to see your car and the 250 SWB on Saturday night.
