Another good way to clean fuel lines is by using a bore snake. It'll go around tight bends

I am fairly worried my understanding is put 2.5 gallons in on each tank (and a then some) and it should GUSH out. Not over night but like now. Where do you get the said snake? sounds like a good idea.

You can get the bore snake at military surplus, firearms supply stores. It looks like a piece of nylon rope, rather large diameter, with a smaller string on one end. You'll have to push some safety wire thru the fuel line then tie off to the string on the snake. When you pull the snake thru, it is specially woven to conform, with a fair amount of resistance, to the "bore".
I'm not sure if more than one size is available because the snake is designed for field use to work for a range of bore sizes. I'm certain it works on 3/8" fuel line
