        10Ft should do nicely as the Filter to "T"Splitter takes about 6.5Ft 

& the remaining 3.5Ft should cover the Splitter to Rails runs ~ There is

no need to route the Feed Hose through the Old FireWall Fitting Hole so

that saves a little on length needed ~ Also, When routing the FeedHose

through the Frame CrossMember just ahead of the Eng'Bay I choose to

use the Smaller of the 2 Holes so the FuelHose gets separated from the

Heater Hoses & also Do Not ZipTie the FuelHose to Heat or Rad'Hoses ~

        I have never experienced the need to replace the Return Hose so

can't speak to Its Length but that run Doesn't require the High Priced

High Pressure Hose so any Good Quality Fuel Hose will do ~
