return lines (how to?)

trucks hard to start when its chilly. had someone on the forum suggest replacing the return lines. i've searched yahoo for 7.3 idi return line, i've checked oreilly's web site and autozones repair site. i can't find anything.

what are the return lines?
where are they?
what is their scientific name so when i call the parts store i can sound like i know what i'm doing.
lastly, where are some resources that will explain how to replace them.

thanks in advance.

ask parts stores for an injector installation kit, injector repair kit, etc. napa and oreilly should both be able to order you one.

Wouldn't have a link to the installation help guide, would you? I want to upgrade mine at some point with viton hoses and o-rings so I can run B100 (I know that the stock return lines will last for a while with biodiesel, but I'd rather not take the chance...)

Thanks,
Chris.
