[KIS/KAS] reattaching fuel lines?

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not.

I have a lander/mothership combo docked in low Duna orbit ready to undock and land. However I noticed that because of something I didn't check pre-flight, one of my four bottom lander stage tank/engines does not have a fuel line attached. This will obviously result in a very unbalanced mess on ascent.

I had the idea today in the shower (where all good KSP ideas happen) to send an unmanned parts ship with KIS/KAS useables to reattach the one fuel line, and add a few parachutes I forgot. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Stock fuel lines and struts can't be attached to two parts via KIS. You'll have to use KAS CC-R2 Connector port,​ place one on the main tank and one on the secondary and link them. Then select the port on your main tank and push the "Pump here" button, this will give the fuel line effect to your pipe.

That was my second idea, but I didn't know there was flow in a particular direction like that, thanks for the help. So does the "pump here" on the main tank mean it is pumping into the secondary tanks? Because that is where the engines are attached.
