Default Fuel line question after ls6 install?

Well during my ls6 install I accidentally bent that black line just about an inch past the green cap and wrapping. It kinked like a hose, I am waiting to get a ported tb before its going anywhere but did I hurt this? I thought I read somewhere that you can bend them to a point but not to go too far that it damages it? Are these just rubber hose or does it have a harder inner part like plastic or something? Not my pic just stole it for display. Thanks in advance!

Mine we're pretty flexible, I don't think you hurt anything. Can you get a picture of the kink in the line?

as long as you only kinked the black rubber line where you discribed then you should be fine

Make sure it doesn't leak fuel... you don't want a fire.

That's the EVAP line; As long as it isn't cracked, your good.

I could take a pic but itd be pretty worthless, you cant see it now looks just like above just maybe a lil softer there and Im pretty sure the line I bent is the actual fuel line. The EVAP is the one that goes to the canister then to the front of the intake correct? The one that goes to the fuel rail is the one I bent. I will be checking it thoroughly when I start it up just wanted to ask how much of a potential problem it was.
