TRkinked braided fuel line

With the FDs in and fuel lines connected, I tried to attach the braided fuel line, to the fuel filter. While wrangling it through the passages, I kinked the braided steel portion. I un-kinked it, but there is a small bulge, where the braided line was kinked.

I assume there is a rubber line withing the braided portion. Is it still OK to use it?

Thanks.

It is a high pressure fuel hose, difficult to tell if any potential failure. Far safer to replace I know that I could not send a car out like that for liability alone. Just my $0.02.
