I replaced the tank filter a few thousand miles ago. The old one looked fine.

The car sat for several years and a small amount of rust formed in the tank. It's been slowly working its way out.

The rubber return line was brittle and had a hole in it that was causing a leak. Fixed that and found another leak in the clear fuel line from the lift pump. Plan to pull the lift pump and check its seals.

Any recommendations on what to use to replace the clear fuel lines?

If you het the area that is shoved over the nippkes while pulling on it you ae left with a banjo fitting with the nipple on it. Do that to the ote side.

Replace it with rubber hose and hose clamps. I believe 1/4-inch works. You will need 4 new crush washers for the banjos.
