Repeat until comes out clean. Add a pencil filter to the Shutoff and reinstall it. Keep an eye on the sediment bowl and Carb filter, repeat if you see debris (rust, etc). There are many other tricks (magnets, etc) that can also help, lots of info here on the Barn if you do a search.


I've also read where some use a modified tire or bicycle pump to blow out gas lines if you get stuck on the road with a plugged up line.
Thanks for the info. I was planning on draining and cleaning out the tank. I'll definitely look for a pencil filter and keep an eye on it.
