Default fuel leak

after replacing fuel filter 2x's....finally found leak....looks to be
coming froma hard line directly adjacent to filter.
looks to be 2 lines of a slightly different diameter.
thought they were brake lines at 1st.
assuming only 1 is fuel,..need to know which 1 and how big a PITA
it is to replace
also thinking cut and sleeve it.
any input ???
thanks

don't know which one is fuel on your truck, but I can tell you that when I had a leak on my Acclaim, I just bought some high pressure hose and cut it to the size I needed and clamped the ends down. It was a lot cheaper than buying the precut they were offering at auto stoned, and it was an easy job, took no more than 1/2 an hour once i got started
