What size for fuel lines?

OK....so maybe I didn't know what size my fuel lines were!

Here is my quandary......I am about to replace all of my fuel and vent lines but I am unsure as to what size to use.

Using the link below.....what size should my fuel lines be for a

1972
250 inline 6 cylinder
2 wheel drive
1/2 ton
manual shift

I'll need sizes for all fuel lines and vent lines.

THANKS!

The only thing you forgot was the year...

5/16" for all of the 6's fuel lines and I don't think you would have any vent lines unless it is a '71 or '72 with the emissions equipment....

I edited my last post. I meant to type '71 or '72. I can't help on the vent lines because I don't have any trucks that use the emissions.

My opinion is you will need 5/16" for the fuel and 1/4" for the return.
