Default Nitrous Feed Line Flattened...Reusable?
My nitrous feed line was flattened somehow about 3-4 inches in length, i just rounded it back out with a plyers. The rubber hose inside should be just fine and reusable right??

Most are Teflon lined. If this was compromised I would not use it, safety first, not worth the chance.

I just tested another braided hose, and squished it, it came right back to shape.

It leaked. If your nos hose gets squished test it or get new.

The teflon coating more than likely flaked off when the hose got crushed and could cause the solenoid to stick open/closed.
