Kinked a vapor line


#1

I removed the vapor recovery tank to clean the wheel well and take care of some rust. In doing so, I kinked one of the hard lines that goes to the top of the tank. P/N 16131178627. Pelican has the line for $82. I called around for used ones but haven’t had much luck. I can undo the kink somewhat, but it’s not perfect. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My fuel line is damaged underneath where some hamhanded mechanic crushed it a bit while lifting the car. The engine still gets enough fuel tho, as indicated by a fuel pressure gauge and F/A meter on my dash. So maybe if your kink isn’t too bad you can ignore it. To test, put a fuel pressure gauge where you can see it, like tied to a wiper, and go run some hot laps.
