fuel line clean-out ideas

[texasmark1]

any ideas on a good way to make sure the fuel line from the tank to the engine compartment is clear before reinstalling my serviced tank?  thinking of using some "canned air" just to see what comes out...

thanks, Mark

 compressed air works about as good as anything i know of, i've heard of people usin boric acid to flush em out , up only gas has been threw it and if stored maybe a spider or two might have made a home in it.

I have used carb cleaner and air.  Put a piece of rubber hose on the line in the engine bay, shoot in a bunch of the carb cleaner and hit it with air.  Catch it in a coffe can at the rear that way you can see when it is clean.  Laquer thinner work just as well.  This will also show up any weak spots in the line.
