2013 Mustang GT. I hit a pretty decent size rock or pothole, checked under the car for damage and saw one of the fuel lines on the front drivers side had a small dent in it. (Just a dent, not a full crease) Car starts and drives fine and it doesn’t leak so I’m thinking it’s fine but just wanted to make sure. Also is a dent of this size big enough to cause issues with fuel flow at all? ![IMG_3698](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/1/d/1d70f4b6e7a81795d50bacdf3af813292e64ba2c.jpeg) ---

Shouldn’t be a problem. Tester ---

you’re fine and don’t try to fix it or straighten it . . . no offense, but you’ll quite possibly do more harm than good ---
