As newguy has already said a couple times. You need to fix that line before you try to "fix" anything else. That is choking your fuel supply to the engine. That could be the cause of the poor acceleration.

Yes, that's a problem. But since it's dry, it can't make the pump fail a leak down test. That's probably what smoked your pump.

Ok can I cut a line from another fuel system and connect where I cut it with some kind of line connector piece? If so what is it called and where can I get it?

Ok I bought a fuel line repair kit and a tube cutter to repair the twisted line. I have no clue where to start cutting on my fuel line, and what about bending and flaring?

First off I want to explain the comments to follow are not meant to be mean or belittling.
I totally admire your wanting to do your own repairs and understand the money issue completely. Just not completely sure you possess the required skills to do this repair. Based on previous questions ask. But this repair should be done by someone with the experience needed to do full line repair/replacement. The fuel system on this vehicle is under 60psi which is a lot. With the risk of fire from a improper repair it can become deadly and cause property damage. Please find someone qualified to do this repair. It won't be money wasted.

I understand and I appreciate ur concerns for my safety and my life, Thank you. But I don't have the money to pay anyone to repair it or a way to earn money without it...im all I got. The best I can do is ask questions in depth before I jump on it. And I'm think I'm ready now...

My fuel line has been leaking fuel for an hour now, how do I stop fuel from coming thru the lines? I pulled the fuse, relay, removed gas cap, and disconnected the negative battery terminal. Am I missing something or how can I stop it? I can't continue to cut with it leaking like that or should I let it drain all out?
