I blew out my newly made lines with compressed air. Then, with the gas lines, I pumped gasoline through the system, collecting it at the front of the engine, running it through a coffee filter. In bright sunlight I could still see tiny sparkles of aluminum (presumably) on the filter. I'd be interested in what others might find with that exercise. At any rate, it would be a good thing to do with your gas lines and perhaps the hydraulic lines too, clearing them out afterwards.
