Fuel line

Okay what is the diameter fuel line that goes from the frame mounted fuel line right next to the fuel pump, and too the fuel pump.

Long story short. I found that a clamp broke on that line causing the engine to ingest a metric ton of air. I put a new clamp on but the line looks really brittle. I figure i should go through all the rubber lines and replace them.

Thanks. I'm just looking for the fuel supply ones.

Injector return lines are not that old. The truck had the injectors and injection pump replaced 3 years ago.
