I was following the recent thread on trash from the gas tank clogging the
pump and wanted to make sure I understand the cleaning options. I have an
air compressor. Someone mentioned blowing air through the pump. I assume you
would blow from the engine side towards the tank side? Seems like the other
way would just force the trash in and clog more. Any recommendations of
pressure? Also, I seem to recall someone reversing the wires so the pump
would pump backwards. Did I imagine this or is it a real option? Seems like
this would do a good job of removing trash.
Thanks,

Mike
