Default Fuel pump + tank install

First off, let me say that this is the worst F*#cking job I have ever done on my car. The tank has too much gas to drain, and dear god is it ever a work out to lift and install, even with the floor jack. Every step of the way something has gone wrong. The bolt that is attached to the strap holding the tank up was bent 90 degrees! Couldn't get the hoses off! etc etc. So, I got it all together (installed a holley 190lph pump for 94+ Integra), and here's my problem. Beside the filler neck, there is a second hose that I *think* is a vent tube or something like that. It was the last hose for me to connect, and I ended up puncturing it trying with a screwdriver to get the godawful clamp on! ARGH!!!! I had to pull the whole tank off again, and I used some 15/32 ID hose to replace it. The thing is, it's sort of kinked now that it is in place. Is this ok??? I think that it's just a breather hose of some sort, but anyone know for sure? Help! Thanks!

If you talking about what I think your are speaking of its on the same hanger right. That is the fuel return line almost positive. Hope this helps.

The hose runs right beside the filler tube, where you pour the gas in. It connects to the top of the tank, right above the filler hose. It is only slightly kinked, so I hope this is ok???

If it's the line that comes into the tank with the filler hose it's the brether hose that lets air in when your filling you tank. So the gas will actually go down quicker. It's also the overflow tube when your filling up, look in your gas filler. thats where the little hole on the left connects to.

Well then. Is the fuel return line in the front of the tank?? Just figured it was a return line because mine got bent down just a hair with replacing with my Walbro and it started pouring out gas. Makes sense it a releases air because when I unhooked it no gas came out.
