Fuel Line / Hose Size?
I just can't find this. I've waded through post after post and it's not even mentioned in the stickies.
What ID/OD fuel line do I need for hardline to filter and filter to rail?
Then for rail to injector?
I've got a "below 24'ish" leak and I want to buy what I might need so I can fix it without running to a fro.
Also I'm guessing if I want to replace all of it in one go, five feet is enough?

I always pull the hose and take it with me to the parts store and compare there.
Make sure you get the more expensive hose for fuel injected instead of the cheap stuff for carb engines.
5 feet sounds like too much, but it never hurts to have some extra hoes around. Pun intended.
That's my 2 cents.

I just replaced the fuel filter and fuel line on my third-generation last week. Got the hose at AutoZone and the clamps at advance auto. Hopefully the part didn't change in the fourth generation.
Hose is on a big roll and I think I got 4 1/2 feet. I have a spare piece and on it it's "CADNA 50087 5/16th inch Low emission fuel injection. MADE IN USA". Worked perfectly with the Fram oil filter from Amazon.
Clamps are 4 pack Autocraft part number ac52F15V fuel injection hose clamps 1/2 to 9/16 inch. For three dollars it's totally worth it, much better than the regular clamps. Even pressure around the hose and less likely to leak. Remember, the fuel pump is pushing high-pressure.
The annoyance on my generation and I don't know about the fourth generation is that the fuel rail underneath the Plenum of the engine actually has two pieces of rubber hose built into it. You can't get to those without taking the whole top of the Plenum off which cost me about 500 bucks at the mechanic. One of mine was leaking, but the mechanic was able to tighten the hose clamp, I have no idea how. It's stop the sub 30° leaking which is great. No more gasoline smell for me for now.
