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. ITTR |

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.
