The return line would be going 'to' the tank I believe. You 'can' cut
out the leak and install a piece of metal gas line with a couple hose
clamps in place of the leak. Or cut the line after the leak, put the
metal tube with clamps in and add a new rubber line to the hard line on
the frame. The return metal line is 5/16" I believe.
This will usually only work for the short term because the whole line
usually rots out all together unless the line got dinged which cause the
leak, then no problem with a patch.
If you 'have' to drop the tank to do the whole line, I recommend you
start soaking all the nuts and bolts many times for a few days before
starting the job. I also would change all the rubber lines while it was
open.
I am in the rust belt and in our case, sometimes it is better to
'carefully' cut an access plate in the floor to get at things. That
depends on the rust level. I had no issues removing my 20 gallon
tank..... It decided to part company with my CJ7 all by it's self as I
was running 'baja' style across an old air strip a couple years ago.
;-) Had to cut all the remaining bolts out.

It looks like the return hose is rotting. The fuel supply line looks newer and
okay. I wondery why the PO didn't replace both while the tank was down? I bet
this was a dealer or outside job. Anyway the crack is where it comes out of
the tank and connects to the hardline return line.

Yep. I have the yellow chrysler service manual. It shows all that. The fuel
supply hose and the return hose connect to the fuel pump sender. The vent hose
that Ts into the to vent valves is okay, I think. :)
I have to get one of those liquid transfer pumps since I have about a half
a tank of fuel to remove.

On the YJ the fuel supply and return hose go to the pump. The YJ has
vent hoses that T into two valves on each side of pump on the tank. I think
that these supposed to be shutoff valves or something if the Jeep turns
over. The XJ I believe has the hoses going into the tank directly as
you mentioned.

I can't use this method since the leak is at the bend where it comes out
of the tank and connects to the fuel return hardline.

Good recommendation. I am a little worried about that since this might
become a huge job if they are hard to remove.

Well that "ain't no" fun. :-)
You can Doug's thoughts confirm I need to drop the tank. Thanks Mike!
