Jollybox, Here's a couple of hints. Wait until the low fuel lamp lights. There are six connections to the tank. Two are electrical (fuel pump and fuel level) and they can't be connected incorrectly. There are two small hoses on the LHS, the H2O drain and vent which go to the fuel door. Mark one spot on the tank and one hose with a dot of nail polish (thanks to my daughters for that). The other two connections are the dry (sometimes) break fuel lines. Mark one with nail polish, push in on the male fitting, push the release on the female fitting and pull the male fitting straight out.
Have a large container handy if the dry breaks aren't so dry. I use my oil change pan. When reinstalling the dry breaks, first put a smear of grease or oil around the O ring, press the release and install straight in, release the release button and check that the male won't come out. Functionally it doesn't matter which way they're connected, but they dress better when done properly.
TT, I learned with my '98 that the hose clamps need to be opened a few more turns prior to installation...even if the airbox comes off easily. For some reason my '04 isn't ever a problem.
