Question

Where do I disconnect the fuel line and blow pressurized air into the fuel line toward the tank to clear out the screens in my tank? Im chasing a power loss. I read a thread about it not long ago but I cannot find it.
I ordered a new ICP sensor air filter and HPO line from Clay, it should be here tomorrow, I replaced one line last year and havent gotten around to doing the other one so I pulled the trigger before I ended up on the side of the road again.............. and Im getting the truck prepped for a mud bog this coming Saturday

Disconnect it behind the fuel pump. Don't youse to high of a psi it can blow the strainers off the end of the sending unit.

I have a nice compressor, how low/high are you thinking I should set it at?
