Fuel return?
High pressure fuel hose
HP hose for ethanol resistance, not high pressure, correct?
The hp hose is just thicker material
Yes tank needs drained
If the HP hose is thicker with the same ID, will it fit through the floor pan?
Here is the OEM arrangement for the fuel lines connecting to the tank:
The return line is connected to the middle of the driver's side of the fuel tank. You'll likely have to remove the center console to gain access. You should replace all the hoses on the supply and return lines.
I agree with @Pighead that you should us a higher grade of hose than the old standard R6 material. I used a Gates Barricade brand of hose (meets SAE 30R14 T1) that is designed to stand up to ethanol.
I suggest that @bamelanc replace the fuel line grommet (link below to @Racer65 website) and get some kind of grommet for the wires (fuel tank sending gauge) going through the floor pan next to the fuel lines.
Fuel Line Grommet for Land Cruiser FJ40 FJ45
Reproduction fuel line grommet for 9/'73 to 1/'79 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, FJ45. Corresponds to OEM part # 90480-01419. Discontinued by Toyota.

Not all Fuel Hose is created equal:
I usually run the 30R9 for better (low) permeation.

Correct Fuel Hose Installation
Fuel hoses are not universal. Outside of the dimensional requirements, fuel hoses have requirements for permeation, pressure and the type of fuel they can carry. This can get even more confusing when you start looking at the lettering on the side of the hose.

Fuel Hose Types and Specifications
Here is a quick rundown of types of SAE fuel hose and their applications. video is sponsored by Continental.

I suggest using fuel line clamps like these, particularly when it's hard to access worm drive clamps:
The nice thing about the Toyota clamps is that they have a red "keeper" pre-installed on the clamp, allowing the clamp to slip over the hose easily. Then, needle nose pliers pull off the keeper, and the clamp is nice and tight, without the need to squeeze the ears to install.
The clamps are still available at the dealer, about $4 each, list:

Vapor Hose Clamp - Toyota (96132-51300)
appears to be still available, cheaper at $2.67 list, but may not have the red keeper.
Going nuts over fuel hose is great and all...but Toyota sells exactly what you need and I've found superior to anything over the counter in the states. Most anything rubber/epdm/neoprene whatever generally is superior from Toyotas subsidiaries.
