Twist in fuel line before filter

I went to replce my fuel filter a few weeks ago and noted a place in the line where it looks like it got a little torqued. Its twisted but still leaves enough diameter for fuel to get through. It looks like the previous jackass twisted it when trying to replace the filter.

This is a dumb question but I want to make sure that what I'm seeing is an obvious problem, really is an obvious problem.

So: Is the fuel line supposed to have a little kink/twist in it before it meets the filter?

i'd say you're right some jackass twisted the line changeing the filter, it's easy to do. i won't admit to ever doing it, but it happens.

fyrelance......actually....I don't know for sure if it was me or not.

I found it after I'd re attached the new filter. So don't feel too bad. It could have been me the whole time. Whoops.
