Wanting to flush tank and fuel lines with fresh fuel. Is it possible to connect a small suction pump to the hose that comes from the fuel tank to the engine bay and siphon thru the fresh fuel?

Ive blown air from the engine bay side back into the tank. Im gonna siphon tank out from the fuel filler. If theres no fuel in the lines will the fuel pump still pull fuel thru when i start the car?

Disconnect lines at f/pump & tank then put compressed air either end untill all rust & junk blows out.

Buy 2 clear fuel filters run car if first one clogs up then change it.
