Problem installing fuel pump

[Chewy954]

I was installing my walbro fuel pump in the dark(dumb, I know). I disconnected the lines on the bottom, then the top(Now I know i didn't need to..). I twisted the metal line by accident and untwisted it but it isn't perfectly round. Is that bad? Would that cause any issues?

Thanks!

If is not crimp more that 30% you should be fine.

Did you just pull 30% arbitrarily out of your ass? Yes that's potentially a problem. You need to check the edges where you twisted it - it very well could have made a hole in the line by pinching it. If that happened, either replace that metal hose assembly, or cut that section out and patch it with hose. Fuel lines are most certainly not something you want to mess around with.

+1 the last thing you want is fuel leaking everywhere.

mine was rusted and broke, i'd recommend getting a piece of high pressure fuel hose (any auto parts store will have it) and rigging that up with some worm clamps.
