I really need some help. I got corrugated fuel line to put between my dual pump nipple and my feed on the sending unit. Does anyone have any tricks to put this on? I tried heating it, boiling it,and tried using wd40 inside. I can not get this tube to slide over at all. Anyone have any tricks?

I'm gonna a try heating it and sliding it up a tapered punch to try to stretch it a little and put clamps on it when connected to the pump. Hopefully it works.

I managed to use a hair dryer and some needle nose to stretch it out a bit and got it over 2 out of 3 points on the barb fittings. Gonna roll with it and put clamps on each end. Pretty sure it's not coming off. I can't even pull it off by hand without the clamps.
