I'd keep an eye on them. I had these neon green/yellow return lines a few years ago and one blew off spilled fuel all over made a mess. Being low temp and soft in durometer, these so called Tygon lines gets softer with increase in temp and can't handle much pressure. Make sure the tank vent is working. My estimate is they can't handle anything more than a few psi's. Injector return lines should be hard to pull off the barbs once installed. Not these, they are so soft a slight yank pulls them off.
