What fittings to use?

What fittings would I need to hook up my air compressor and blow out my fuel lines?

Are there any valves inside those lines I need to know about?

If I at least get the seat out Monday I'm going to try and clean the lines.

Re: What fittings to use?

Start at one end of the line and look at it while moving toward the other end. If there's something like a filter or pump think and maybe remove and clean/replace.

Since the other end is open there should be no pressure buildup. Just put the blast tool on the end and press.

I would just use a blow gun with a rubber tip. Something like this.

Disconnect the lines from the carb, fuel pump, and tank sender.
A good thing to do would be to buy some rubber fuel line and replace the old stuff that is on the truck.
