DIRT in fuel lines.

I bought a 95 7.3 diesel a few months ago and have been driving it on the front tank. Truck drove strong. I switched to the rear tank and the truck died within 20 miles. Opened the fuel filter bowl and bled it. Found all kinds of dirt in bowl. Hit the key and there was more dirt in there after turning over pump, but truck still won't start. Have low pressure at shrader valve.

My question is what is the best place to reach and break the fuel lines to blow them out without taking whole engine apart. I have not been able to find any good pictures of the fuel line routing for this truck. Lines under engine are very hard to reach with air hose.
