I read that Ford uses standardized colors for the quick disconnect clips (SAE J2044) in their fuel lines. Green for low pressure fuel supply, red for venting or fuel return. Here is a picture of the two lines leaving the front of my fuel tank. I need to know which is which. You can easily see the red clip but most of the green clip is behind the other connector.

If it helps, the line with the red clip is more toward the center of the vehicle, the green more out board.

TIA

ChatGPT claimed the colors indicate function. Grok claimed the colors indicate line size, but then changed the story due to my specific vehicle (color = function). Both were completely opposite to the way my vehicle is...

When called out on the error Grok did OK,

"Color coding isn't universally standardized across all Ford vehicles or even within the same platform over time. For the Bronco Raptor, it's tailored to the EVAP system's integration with the off-road fuel tank shielding. Some aftermarket repairs or regional builds might swap colors, but OEM is as above."

A"I"....🤔

Indeed @Chrome_Pony , I've had quite similar experience with technical inputs/requests in the past.

Humorously, the one time I asked it to write a poem, it absolutely smashed it. Utterly amazing.
