Just did it Friday night, as the spotting quickly got worse. I quickly remembered how much of a PIA steel hose his if there's any, you know, car in the way, more so when slick w/ diesel that is also dripping in your face. It also occurred to me that I had a family that might miss me while I bend and cuss. Ran 5/16" fuel line from engine compartment, cut at a clean spot and put 2 clamps on it. Did both lines, they pass through the same bushing that probably traps water at the same spot. Ran my lines straight to the solenoid valves (greased car) use one hose to cap the hard lines, put the other in my tool box. Zip tied to existing lines and my TIH line. Good till the other end or the brake lines go. Additional nuisance: the rubber bushings that hold the lines together doesn't split, must be cut or replaced.

If it doesn't want to prime easy, you can blow on your return line, or have a helper pressurize your fuel tank w/ a shop vac while you prime.
