I'm not working on my truck (right now), but I am working on my '56 Chevy. I let it sit far too long, so I'm going through it.

I'm installing a new fuel tank, and before I do, I would like to clean out the fuel line from tank to pump. What solution/cleaning agent would you recommend? I have compressed air, so I can blow it out, and I will be installing a filter before the pump. I just would like to get as much varnish/sediment out as possible before I start circulating fresh fuel through the system.

I've already replaced the fuel pump and the engine is running fine on an auxiliary fuel tank.

Thanks for your help.

if you really want to clean it out you'll need to remove it and start by soaking, not too spendy to just replace it and much more fail-safe

At times, I just don't know where my brain goes!
That's why it's great to have you guys to bounce things off of.
I will replace the lines.
Thanks Bill.
