Default Metal fuel line repair advice...

OK, i'm planning on replacing 4-6 inch of fuel line under the car, as it has been crushed and i believe it is restricting fuel a causing the car to run lean.
My question is, can i:
Start the car, pull out the fuel pump fuse, wait till car stops.
Then hacksaw the small section of crushed pipe out ????
And replace with fuel hose.

If i do this am i likely to blow my self up
I was expecting the fuel line to be copper and cut though quite easily with the minimum of bother and no sparks.

Has anyone done this before ???
