Default fuel line disconnect tool?

I just bought a disconnect tool at autozone for 3/8 inch or 5/16 inch fuel line. Is this the right size tool for our cars?

I'm almost 99% sure the 3/8" is the size you need to disconnect the connection at the fuel rail. Jared

Thanks! I didn't want to have to pre-test it.

It's 5/8".

I bought a tool that had 2 sizes and said it was for Ford but they didn't work.

I ended up making some of my own. Worked perfectly. No damage...

I didn't see any colored tools. The ones they had were two tools in one and look like a pair of scissors minus the handles and blades. I guess i'll be taking this one back, i didn't have the car with me and the autozone guy wasn't any help.

Yup, that's the same one I bought. Didn't work.
I just checked the one I made with a pair of calipers and it's 5/8".

I haven't decided if I'm going to relocated it or not. I can't run the whipple tune if I relocate it. I'm only running 8psi so i'm not so worried about the intake air temp being off a few degrees.
