Two good response's. Running alcohol through the system is cheap and does an
excellent job of flushing. You might want to consider denatured alcohol from
the hardware store however, rubbing alcohol sometimes has additives. Of the
two bottles of rubbing alcohol that we have here one is 91% Isopropyl alcohol
and 9% water, the other bottle is only 70% Isopropyl and 30% mix of water and
wintergreen. Do not have any denatured on hand but think the water content
is lower.
Also once you have flushed the system with alcohol, open all of the bleed
valves and blow air (low pressure) through the lines to dry them.
