blocked oil line

[burdec]

Hi all,
Got any tips on what I could use to unblock an oil line. Tried an air line, (mind you its only a small compressor), did get some jelly like 'stuff' followed by an algae like muck.
The line runs under a patio and no chance of replacing same, and they do not want an overground new line run. Up the pressure I guess??

Wouldnt be using a wet vac on an oil line.

Hwos do a little vacuum pump. Tremendous bit of kit. Pump it up, attach to line and let it go. Sucks all the crap into its own container.

I'd second the vacuum pump great bit of kit. I also have a home made adapter to get a foot pump connected, prefer it to a compressor as you have a bit more 'feel'.

I've got a dosing vessel that looks exactly the same I'll have to see if I can reverse it
