Re-Route Evap Vent Line
With doing a 3.4 swap and having to use the 3.4's charcoal canister on the driver side, I was able to get rid of the 3.0's cylindrical charcoal canister from the passenger side fender, freeing up a lot of space.
Now the vent line from the gas take that feeds into the charcoal canister is still in the same place: awkwardly in the middle of the passenger fender sitting in the way of mounting something else, like say an ARB compressor.
So, my question to all of you is, has anyone been able to re-route that hard line closer to the firewall?
Can the small hand-held tubing bender used for brake lines be used to bend these lines? Something like: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/oes-25125/overview/
And, if I decide to cut the hard line down on the firewall, is there a tool that will add that "barb" to the end of the line? All I can think of is a flare tool, but I know this isn't a flared end.
This is the hard line in questions (in the yellow circle), obviously before the 3.4 swap:
Thanks

Yeah, I was back and forth for little while whether to post here or the 3.4 swap forum, but settled on here.
Good to know about not needing that little bulb or bell on the end of the hard line.
Vital, the plan was/is to bend the hard line back along the fire wall (hadn't thought about how to mount it yet, so thanks for that idea), but I'm not sure what the best method of bending the tube is: by hand and risk kinking it, or using one of the brake line tubing benders.
Thanks for the input so far.
