Does anyone know the size fuel line is on EFI 460?

I have a 460 out of a '90 F-250 and I'm trying to buy fuel line for in a roll but don't know which size to order. When I measure it it comes out to 5/16" OD and 1/4" ID. When I look on kegs it just brings the size of the air line but not as a ID or OD. None of the parts stores supply it around here so have to order online. Any help would be appreciated. The return and feed hoses are the same size but the ends are different sizes. I assume so that things are not connected wrong.

I had an idiot at jiffy lube break my line when trying to change the fuel filter. At that time I think they were available through ford, but for a price I didn't want to pay. I ended up getting some from a wrecked 95 c-150. They are braided stainless and I don't think you can buy them in a roll.

They sell in a roll on jegs but I don't know what size it is to order. The motor isn't in the original vehicle so a stock fuel hose out of a vehicle isn't going to work for my situation.

Do you have a carb on the motor? If it is stock efi, then you need these fittings on the end;

You would also want crimped AN fittings on the ends of the lines to connect to them. EFI lines are more complicated because of the higher pressure. A barbed fitting and a hose clamp won't work like it will for a carb.
