Bending fuel pipe
I've had to fit a new piece of fuel pipe from the internal tank to the tap.
It's only about 3” long but I have to put a 90⁰ bend in it.
I fitted it yesterday and zip tied it but overnight the bend has kinked.
Looking for some advice how to overcome the kinking.
Thanks

Try warming it with a heat gun then fit or fit a longer piece with a loop

Buy a barbed plastic/elbow & cut the flexi.

Yeah couple of options to try thanks.
It's a poor design though for such a small area

I’m guessing that the OEM part is a moulded shaped piece.

Looks forced. Try cutting a shorter piece and applying heat.

Cut the pipe shorter so it has a larger radius to the turn

It looks to me like the bottom barb screws in.
Get a 90 degree barb so you have a straight piece between them.

It does look a bit long doesn't it. Is this an OEM pipe - as Davie suggests below, it looks like it should really be a 90 pipe.
(Be careful with heat now, if it's got fuel in it)

Left click on Davie's name in the left column. You should then get various headings incl PM.
