if that doesnt work and you have a compressor you can put air into the tank with a rag around it while someone turns the motor over. you dont need a lot of air(dont balloon the tank)

New line arrived today. It's the stainless steel one. It needs to be bent some in order for it to be the correct shape. Think I need to heat it before I bend it?

Don't heat it.
Message the bends it already has until it fits. Be careful not to kink it.

OK, my engine is a 6 cyl 200 cu in. The OLD fuel line I'm replacing is 3/8 ". The NEW fuel line I bought is only 5/16 ". Is that gonna matter when it comes to harming the fuel pump, i.e. making it work harder to pump? I see in the NPD catalog that 5/16" was standard for my size engine, and the 3/8" is for V8s. Wonder why my fuel line was 3/8 " instead of 5/16"?

no 3/8 is huge for a stock motor...5/16 will do you just fine.
