Approximately how long is the rubber line between the sender and the filter? How about after the filter? I need to replace the filter/lines and am nowhere near my Jeep.. THX

Wix filter specs show a 6" length. Got one for my '96 but can't put it on yet so can't help with hose length. I can tell you that the filter came without any hose. Just two clamps.

I just did mine on a 96. 48" of 3/8 high pressure line will do the whole job. There is about 30" or so from pump to filter, then about 4" between filter and hardline. I bought 48" and probably had about 10" left over.

This describes the situation on my 96 which has the fuel pump coming out of the front of the tank on the passenger side. No return line. I don't know how closely that matches your own setup.
