T&T: Algae in Racor 900's

[Jay Leonard]

Ron,
Air pressure might make a mess. I use diesel and a
"turkey baster" to clean mine out. Works the same as
the lab bottle but cheaper ...and messier too no
doubt.

SNIP:I use a 1 liter laboratory wash bottle filled
with diesel to 
hose the entire housing down and clean all that stuff
out. If you 
haven't 
used one of these, it's a polyethylene bottle with a
very fine nozzle 
at the

top."

Yes this makes sense to me rather than disassembling
the entire thing.
However why couldn't I just use compressed air say at
about 80 psi or 
so?
Any thoughts?
