I was messing with my 2 fuel lines and bent them bad (where it goes from the metal tube to the plastic tube) down beside the motor where the quick disconnects are. Can I re-heat the plastic line and push the ends back onto the metal connectors?

I wouldn't try as there is a big chance for the line to crack, split, or come loose and leak. I replaced both of my plastic lines with Rubber Fuel Injection rate fuel lines and clamps. No worries and pretty easy to do. Good Luck!

If you do it again, look for Dayco Push Loc hose. I have been using it for years and it can take 300 psi. I run it no clamps (looks really clean) and it has held up since 1999. I know other companies make a push lock type hose. To get 300 psi no clamps, you do need to run the right fittings, but I have just used the stock barbed fittings with no issues.
Very, very hard to install, but worth it.
