Good to hear it worked out well! 
Best technique for tightening up and re-using old fuel pipes that I have found always works for me.
1) Place the pipes in position gently and get them lined up and seated as best as you can
2) Hand tighten both the ends gently.
3) Wiggle the pipe slightly so it seats even better
4) Keep hand tightening as far as you possibly can and repeating that procedure until the pipe barely moves when you try and wiggle it.
5) Nip down the ends to a decent tightness.
I have had a garage re-seat a pipe before on my other car. It was pi***ng diesel out all over the top of the engine. I took it apart again fearing they would have damaged the pipe and managed to get it to re-seat and seal fully with that technique above
