Default Bent Fuel line, please help...

hey everyone I was pulling hard and I pushed the fuel line going to the fuel rail out, and its kind of sticking up now. The reason for this is because the hose to my fuel rail broke and needed t replace it, and needed some room to get into it to remove it from its socket. Its not sticking out a bit, its not as tight as the rest the the fuel lines, is this ok??? I dont want any leaks or blockages?? thanks.

I've replace the fuel line from the filter right up to the engine bay. It was an original part but still reguired some bending. It was a big job. If you can reconnect your line I'd leave it as it is as long as it isn't chafing on anything else. I used a pipe bending tool but I realise I had more acces than you may have as the car was up on a lift and the tool is quite large. If you do need to bend the line, don't use any metal to metal tools and only bend a little at a time, move along the line and bend again, repeat as necessary. You don't want to kink or break the line.
