If you turned the pipe fitting 180degrees and pointed it towards the engine, would that not solve the issue?

Replace the kinked part of the flexible pipe with a steel 90 deg bend.

If the connection off the tank pointed straight down, would a shorter pipe not do the job?

Is that a AN fitting? if it is, its pretty easy to just make a new line exactly to the length you need. Agree that you should just use a 90 pointing
straight down. What ever you measurement comes out to be, add a little for flex.

fixed it this morning, had to shortern the pipe off the pump as i couldnt run a pipe straight before the fittings were too close
there is enough flex in the line too too long made it kink so just got it about right
getting full in the engine bay now though!
thanks guys
