On my car the bigger one is the feed line and the smaller one the return to the tank. It has to be that way since you have more gas coming than going back.

do you have an aftermarket fuel setup on you car or are you using the factory fuel lines?

The fuel lines are nylon.

The return line is definitely smaller.

You already had the answer, so I did not answer it again. 3/8" is the feed, 5/16" is the return.

And the return line is the one that connects to the fuel pressure regulator. The feed goes into the back of the passenger side rail.
