The supply line is the one that goes to the fuel strainer.
If the clear line is 5/16 i.d. I would not trust it not to blow when the engine gets hot. If 1/4 " i.d. I'd trust it for short term.
Edit: I see you have no clamps on the clear line. Air can get in on the relaxation stroke of the lift pump when it is under vacuum. I already explained to you how to make a clamp with rubber band.

Yeah, apologies this part me be unclear. I haven't isolated the primary filter, that's what I'm trying to express. I pinched the line *directly* before the lift pump so I'll be working backwards, section by section. I'm not convinced just yet that the primary filter isn't the problem.
Edit: the clear line i installed was the 1/4 and boy was it a snug fit. I can certainly wrap some rubber bands around it but to be honest I'm more concerned about when I have to remove it.
