"SG: If it is not over 1/2 the diameter of the fuel line, don't worry about it--just make sure it isn't cracked and leaking. The following website has the formed fuel line--not cheap, about $35 + shipping.

Any auto parts store with a good machine shop should be able to duplicate your fuel line. Guy"

Replace it now. If is is crimped the motor vibration can cause it to break. There is some pressure here coming out of the fuel pump heading to the carb. A small crack in the line can cause it to spray fuel!!!!! Replace it with OEM Mercruiser part. This line is stainless steel I think. Not worth chancing!!
