Alright, so I replaced my fuel rail the other day and bent the plastic fuel line leading to the quick disconnect a little. There's a little mark where you can tell it was bent. It doesn't leak or anything, but I was wondering if I should replace the line just to be safe since the exhaust manifold is close to it and I don't want any fires.

Hmmm..my guess would be if its broken open then yes. Cause that's the only way fumes are going to get out to start a fire, which I don't even see happening anyways?

I would definitely err on the side of caution when it comes to something that could potentially cause a fire. A little bit of time and money spent now could save you your entire rig later on down the road. Why even bother taking the risk?

I also agree. Im just saying if gas isnt coming out of it. Its jsut not like going to randomly blow up..other wise our cars/trucks/eveything on the road could just randomly blow up then..thats all i was saying.
Its always better to be safe than sorry. but if its not leaking at all..then theres no problem (other than the look/physical appearance of it)
