Tank switching valve question

I am totally embarassed to have to ask this but which tube on the tank switching valve is the feed to the pump and which is the return? When I tore into the top end for my electric fuel conversion I noticed that the return was 5/16 and the feed was 3/8 so I though no problem when I get underneath. Cut the tubes down by the valve and afterwards noticed oops, same size down there thanks to an adapter fitting halfway back, Grrrr.

Thanks in advance.

Look at the valve carefully there will be return and feed marked on the port body

The one on the selector closest to the frame is the supply. The other is the return.

I can't upload the pic of the selector valve because I am at work but it clearly says source and return
