Hello Steve,
here is a couple of pictures of an original petrol pipe of my unrestored RN saloon. Note that it is quite crudely done. If you look at the period pictures in Wyatt's book you will see similar ones.
The copper pipe is supplied in the annealed state therefore does not require annealing. You can gently straighten tube from a coil by passing it through a drilled hole in a piece of wood and straighten accordingly. The tube does not need to be filled to be able to bend it.
Hope this is of help.
