Default Fuel pipe flat

Hi all, I’ve noticed a bit of a flat spot on my fuel pipe supply. I must have done it when I pushed it through the firewall. As I say it’s on the supply side. Question is will it need cutting out or is there enough pressure that it won’t matter? Thanks

I don't think it would hurt, but a picture of it may help in determining. Also, maybe someone with a bit more knowledge than mine will chime in soon

Either post a photo, or do a flow test by hotwiring the pump and seeing what volume comes out of the supply in 2 minutes, say, and ten calculating the volume per hour or whatever. Basically, extra joins are not a good idea in a hard line IMO, as vibration/knock etc etc will, at some point, loosen them.
