Well 15 feet goes from the tank to the rails with about 2-3 feet left over for mistakes. The return will depend on if you are running all the way to the tank, or using the stock feed as the return.

i think i got 20 also, have some left over.. im sure it will come in handy one day.

the best way to cut it is wrap over where you want it cut with duct tape and then cut with a dremel and a cutoff bit. if you cant do that use a hacksaw.. have to be careful to keep the braids tight or it will never fit.

if you have the speed (cas) regulator.. apparently now they carry both the -6 and -8 fittings for the regulator, you get that and you wont have to use an adaptor.

if you are using a section of -8 for the return line i would def. get 20'
