I'm trying to run lines from my in tank electric pump to my filter/pressure regulator and it's not going well.
I have two types of bending tools. The arm style and the spring. Neither one works very well. The arm style literally crushed the tubing, and the spring still let the bend I made with my hands flatten out.
I've ordered one of these from amazon, but it won't be here til Monday. Nobody seems to have this style of bending tool in my area.
Here are pics of what I'm trying to do. On the lower left you can see the end of the compression fitting, and on the lower right if my fuel filter/regulator. It's to long of a distance to run rubber line. I am using rubber for my rollover/vent valve, but that's it.
Anyone been successful bending this line? I'm getting close to starting the engine. Fuel line and some wiring and I can fire it. Hopefully soon.
