Leaking Fuel Line

I have two fines attached to this device on the side of my fuel filter bowl, one of which is leaking. My problem is that I don't know where the other end of the leaking line is, although I'm pretty sure neither go directly to the fuel tank. Can someone help me identify what I'm looking at, so that I can get the line off at the other end? Thank you in advance, Ford Forum.

Soft lines? They run to the heads.

Riffraff has heavy duty ones, other option is OE Ford/Navistar

Those return lines run from the cylinder head to the fuel bowl. Let us know if you need anything.

It's the driver's side line that let go, so I ordered one from Riffraff. In the meantime, getting to the end that goes into the head is abit tricky; I've got is soaking in penetrant and I hope I can work it out of the block without breaking it off, as it looks abit rusty. Thanks for your help, guys.

So you are only going to do one of the two hoses?

I am trying to swing the accessory bracket out of the way so as to get at the line in the head, but I am having difficulty finding the bolts to loosen it: I have two out and a third is loose, but I can't swing the bracket out of the way; she doesn't budge: is there another bolt I'm not seeing? Thank you.

Hi all. I'm having the same issue with the driver's side hose. I just ordered the set from RiffRaff but mine has a compressor right in the way. Does that have to come off to get to the driver's side (cylinder head side) out?
