Recommendation for Fuel Line Set

Recommendation for Fuel Line Set
I have my grandfathers 1997 Ford Ranger after his death,13 YEARS AGO. It has not been driven since. During my attempt to flush the entire fuel system, I’ve had a fuel line seized in the fuel rail, snapping one line going into there. So before this truck continues sitting, i’m trying to find a fuel rail that doesn’t have another line seized in it and full set of oem fitting lines. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum
Wrecking yard will be best bet, those fuel lines haven't been made for 20+ years, even after 10 years fuel lines are scarce, 1997 is 35 years old
What engine does it have?
1997 can have a 2.3l 4cyl or a 3.0l or 4.0l V6
All would have different fuel rails and fuel line connections, so they are engine specific
And best range will be 1989-1997 as fuel system changed in 1998 to a single fuel line setup in engine bay
Good news is that they are all nylon lines so last a long long time, just the ends get brittle
You can get repair kits with new ends, Dorman sells them
All the hoses are 5/16" nylon
The ends vary 5/16" or 3/8" connectors were most common
So you can make new fuel lines from scratch if you want
