I spent the better part of the day working to swap my cracked exhaust manifold for a new one. Along the way, we managed to kink the fuel line running up to the rail - we're talking a full 90* or slightly better bend in the line before realizing what happened. There are quick disconnects at the fuel rail and near the firewall, but the kinked part in question is under shrink wrap and in this photo is also protected by a rubber hose.
Is the underlying line metal? If so, I need to replace it since I can't see that bending and not cracking. If it's plastic, it's pretty durable since it didn't crush by hand when squeezed...but I really want to know what it is before deciding whether replacement is urgent or simply immediate.
This is on a 96 XJ w/4.0L
Thanks,
Jim
