Engine fuel line repair?

[Jamo]

My inlet fuel line got kinked and slighted crushed because the joiner to the fuel hose could not be undone and it bent the pipe in the process ( return was no problem )

How can I repair this?

Is there a way to make the pipe circular?

Is the fuel line solid from tank to engine bay?

Is there a way to replace the end section then would be safe?

How close to end was it? Has it still got the steel lines? you can cut off the end reswage if its not too far down the line. else it may be a good chance to change to copper?

It's the bend at the very end of the line.

From what I can see the line is one piece from tank to bay

it goes to the filter, but to there it is one peice i think.

You can always just cut the crimped bit off, then reflare it. Need a brake flaring kit though.

I can cut it off and flare it but I'd be short, can copper pipe be used to replace the section that needs cutting out?

You can use copper pipe and get a compression fitting from any pluming center, i did this when my lines rust.

I used 8mm Cupro nickel brake/fuel pipe and the wade connectors were simply 8mm connectors afaik
