Default fuel line help

i got a fuel leak from the inner fenderwell. i did some serious suspension upgrades recently and all the banging must have sent a shockwave through these lines and being so rusty and fragile, they cracked.

i need to know the size of the lines and which one is which. i have 3ft of 1/4" and 5/16" line, however i do not know if these will work.

the plan is to replace both lines together, starting from right behind the wheel well to the rubber lines that feed the rail.

my friend is against this and thinks we will be chasing line as we replace certain sections. so my next question is how can i remove the lines from the tank without disrupting the sending unit and what not.

we planned on dropping the tank, replacing the tank and popping in my walbro 255 with a new sending unit. i lost the fuel pump so i dont wanna waste my time in there now.

id like to just replace what i need to now and then do it right when i can find my pump. car is my dd and im sick of driving my friends chevy! someone help me lol

yeah i went lazy and only replaced what i needed

the nylon hose there got kinked so bad it caused a blockage in the hard line and thats why they split.

obviously ford dosnt sell this part anymore neither do autostores so i had to cut the fuel rail down to the nylon off my '93.. thankgod i still have that thing.. i wish it was road worthy becus everything on it is mint! been sittin 1yr still no rust
