    I'm not sure but I think the return line is (or could be) 1/4"? It may not be worth it to you to have two different sizes. Maybe check the two fitting on the bottom of your fuel pump. Or, maybe your setup doesn't even have a return line.

    12' or 25'. That's easy. Get 25' then you're sure to have enough plus some extra for spare parts and other projects.

    My factory fuel line was 5/16" and the return was 1/4", I'm still running the factory plastic lines to my rear tank.

    Yep. I've never seen 3/8" fuel line on a Jeep. 3/8" was used on the GM big blocks, but 5/16" is plenty for a 225.
