I forgot to tell you how we straighten used steel tubing, sometimes old PS lines can have a lot of curves. This is a slick trick. Fill the bent line with fine sand, block the ends, then get an old stump, or soft wood block, place the line on the stump and then beat it back into shape with a soft pine 2x2 or rubber hammer. You can straighten it right out, if it is not seriously kinked. Then use a tubing bender to shape it the way you want. Oh! Don't forget to remove the sand when you are done :>)

Hey Camboted, after straightening and before removing the sand you should probably stress relieve the tubing with a torch to removed cold working induced by straightening. Heat to just before it turns red and air or sand cool it, do not water quench! This would avoid any tendency to crack over time and vibration especially if there are any notches in the tube that would create stress risers and crack initiation points.
