L98 TPI - How to tell the difference on supply and return steel lines

The 2 steel fuel lines at the driver side where it attaches to the hoses to the fuel rail. How do you tell which line is the return, or which is the supply ?

Return attaches to the regulator and I think it's smaller too.

Yea, I know. Maybe I wasn't clear in my post. I think my buddy got the hoses from the rail to the steel lines on the frame crossed.

Hard line for feed is bigger, rubber feed hose is longer.
