Which of these is my return line?

I can see which is the feed and vent, but of the other two can't tell.
Does it it even matter since I'm not using evap? My tank has been off
so long I can't remember. I have a TPI system if that matters. And
does anyone know if the return line goes to the bottom of the tank or
does it just dump fuel in the top?

p.s. I stole this picture off another thread so don't harrass me about
not giving credit. I just forget who to give it to.

Re: Which of these is my return line?

Hey, I recognise that stuff LOL

The pressure line has a rubber section with a flare nut (o ring seat) crimped to it, it connects tot he same line that goes to the fuel filter. The otehrs just use simple hose clamps.

The stuff in that pic is modified, it splits off to an aux fuel pump. If you see the rubber line with the yellow mark on it, that one originally threads into the upper most line where there's an alu hex type adapter w/ a black hose end on there now. It's the line above and to the left of the "center rear" brake line tag. That's the fuel pressure side.

Return goes to the bottom. Your pump and sender are clamped to it
