Fuel line location in engine bay?

Does anyone know how to identify the fuel hoses under the hood? I'm installing a flex-fuel kit and need to splice the fuel composition sensor into the supply line to the injectors. I saw that there are two lines attached to the injector rail, but I don't know from looking at it which is the supply and which is the return. I attached a pic from the FSM on the fuel injector rail assembly. I'm thinking it's the one labeled "No. 1 fuel pipe sub-assembly", but I thought I'd pose the question to the group if someone knows.

Before the discussion gets off-topic into the merits/ills of E85 and people start asking why I would do such a thing 🤦‍♂️, YES I know it's not the ideal green solution and YES it's not always economical. I will just say that I'm doing it to:
-take advantage of the "flex" part and have more fueling options in places where E85 is significantly cheaper (i.e. Midwest) when driving cross-country
-try and stave off the impending gas price hike
-possibly run higher compression via supercharger in the near-ish future
-reduce my tailpipe emissions (I live in the city)
-not sacrifice trunk space or add extra tank weight doing a CNG bi-fuel conversion


Anyway enough of that part. if someone can help me identify the supply fuel line, I'd appreciate it!

What's involved in the conversion? Can't you just fill the tank and run the E85?
Sorry if I seem ignorant - I'm genuinely interested.

If you look on your gas cap it has a "no E85" illustration on it.

In the manual there is a reference to the color of the connectors that clip on to the rail. My memory has eluded me and not sure which was which. But, the pressure regulator is on the return side of the rail. That should help you out.
