Fuel and injection hose question???
What is the size of the 2 fuel hoses that go from the fire wall in tho that metal tubing next to the rats nest on the GSLSE. Also what is the size of the ones that goes in to the fuel rail (emissions pipe), and to my understanding they all have to be high pressure????

Patience, grasshopper.
the Fuel Injection Feed and Return lines are the ones that go from the firewall to the Fuel Rail under the DEI Chamber. These MUST be fuel injection rated hoses, as they carry about 45-50psi of fuel pressure, compared to about 3-5psi with a carbeurated engine. If you use regular, unrated fuel hose like for your lawnmower on a fuel injection system you're risking the fuel line breaking and spraying gas all over your hot engine.
Been nice knowing you if you go that route.
Head down to your local auto parts store and show them the hose you've removed - the Feed and Return are the same size, and just buy a few feet of Fuel Injection Hose. It's marked on the side of the hose 'FUEL INJECTION HOSE'.
Good luck,
