'86 fuel lines, which is return/supply?
Can anyone confirm for me which line is which?
The shop manual says the line near the hatch is the supply, and the line near the bumper is the return, however others have told me the opposite.

If you're referring to the lines right under the fuel filler door, according to the diagram in the Corvette Shop Manual for the 1986, the line that is the most forward is the FEED line (called the Fuel Feed Piep) and the one that is the most rearward is the RETURN line (called the Fuel Return Pipe.
Hope this is what you're referring to and that it helps.

You must be looking in from the top at the fuel filler neck and top ot the tank, with the gas door and rubber boot removed - right? If so, the top (closest to the hatch) hose - probably with Two hose clamps on it - is the pump out or pressure line. The bottom line going towards the passenger side, with one - probably - hose clamp on it is the fuel return line, and the bottom line going towards the Drivers side, with - probably - a spring clamp on it is the vent line.
