Don't you love advice that doesn't read the question. Doesn't want to use electrical tool (heat gun) due to safety concerns and can't bend the line down to use boiling water. Other than the brass adapter idea, can you loosen up the other end of the line and pull it out enough to give you the slack you need to heat up the end in question? What about a new line? cost and effort involved I don't know, but maybe that's a better option? $15 for 10 foot from Dorman. http://www.jegs.com/p/Dorman-Products/Dorman-Nylon-Fuel-Line-Tubing/1667167/10002/-1Or a short piece of line to heat up and install then hook it up with one of these? http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-50971-800-191.aspx?origin=keyword
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Unfortunately, that covers about 75% of the replies on this forum. Do you have the room to soak a rag in hot water and wrap it around the tubing? A rag fully saturated in boiling water should transfer enough heat to soften the line for installation.

This is what I was trying to describe in my earlier post. 10-4 You can get brass compression fittings at the hardwarwe stores, pretty easy to find them. Not too sure how easy the fuel resistance plastic ones are to find though.
