Fuel line Issues...........

I`ve had a few fuel leaks on my truck for quite a while now, and its finally nice enuf weather to be able to do something about it.. Ok, I know about getting Gates Marine hose, 3/8" ID and 5/16" ID. Any specific part numbers on these to help my parts guy out? or a good quick location to get about 15' of each? I plan to replace ALL of the hose, is 15' each enough to do the job for both?

My other main question is connection to the fuel tank. I know about the stock quick connects, and the plastic nipples on the tank are smooth with rings for the quick connects. How do you attach the hose to this? Alcohol clean the connections and hose clamp, using friction? Or will the hose fit over the ring used for the quick connect? Dont need the hose falling off..

Any other tips would be great from someone thats done this before.

Thanks
-Jerry
