Of course ...If all else fails you might consider buying the purpose built
tool from Aircraft Spruce P/N 367-FH. It's not too expensive, it's designed
for the job and it does it well.
Add a "Rolo-Flair" pipe flaring tool (AS  P/N 212FB) and you have two
perfect suggestions for additions to the Europa Club tool box - the sort of
thing you only use infrequently, but can't do without.
And to start the ball rolling, if any Europa builder in the Hampshire (UK)
area is considering using "proper" alloy fuel pipe - you're welcome to use
my flaring and bending tools.

Happy bending

Nigel
