How to remove fuel from vacuum lines?

[joyfil2001]

So i have a Fuel Lab FPR which apparantly has failed and is getting warrantied. It is leaking fuel into the vacuum line. I am replacing the FPR with a new one this weekend but I want to get all of the fuel out of the vacuum lines before I install it.

-Does anyone know how I can go about doing that?
-Is it possible the fuel will evaporate?

Any feedback is apreciated.

I would just replace the vacuum line.

Compressed air from the other side. Was it just the line to the FP solenoid and intake manifold?
Disconnect the hose from the FPS and blow it out.

Yes thats where it starts but i by-passed the FPS. Should I just hook up a compressor to the line coming off the intake manifold and blow it out? I am assuming that it stops there and isnt getting into any other vacuum lines.

If you don't want to replace then do that.

Thanks for the help. Now that i think about it it was a pretty stupid, self exlanitory question.

Unless you flooded the whole intake it's not likely it went anywhere else.

Start the motor and crack open the far end of the vacuum line, and let the motor suck the fuel out. With only a few days' exposure, it should have negligible effect on the life of the lines.

Thanks. My new FPR came in so I'm going to switch them out today. Hopefully everything will work out. Only problem is its a DSM and things always go wrong.

Man that would suck if it got any amount. Boost gauge, bov, wg, methanol kit controller, ebc.. etc.. I don't imagine any of them would handle gasoline well.

Nothing is damaged. And the car runs great. Its just amazing that i keep having problem after problem.
