Fuel line quick-disconnect size
Could not find this info anywhere. So I'm putting it out there.
The fuel line disconnect size to get is 5/16" to remove the fuel line from the fuel rail.
This is for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L
* I Can't confirm any other years, models or engines.

Additional info:
I spent 2 hours trying to get the Autozone cheap plastic "T-nut-looking" tool kit to work to disconnect this fuel line. It never worked. You indeed need a solid nylon tool like the one you show in your OP. I now refer to this fuel line connector as, "difficult disconnect," rather than "quick connect," because it requires a specialty tool to remove it.

All those plastic tools are pieces of $h!t. Get the anodized aluminum tools from advance auto parts.
