Easy way to clear blocked tank drain?

[MarkJ]

Afternoon, my Sprint's drain hole (the bit that drains rainwater out of the top of the filler cap so it doesn't drop into the tank) is blocked.

Is there a quick way of clearing it out without having to remove the petrol tank? I sprayed WD40 down it last night and proddled around with some electrical wire, but it gets stuck at what feels to be the bottom of the tank, possibly a 90 degree bend.

I have a compressor, is blasting it with compressed air a bad thing? Will it pop any connectors off? Are there any other tricks like drain unblocker that work?

Find the other end of the hose and follow it up to see it's not pinched anywhere. If it isn't - blast away with the air line.

i used a steel guitar string fuel cap top to bottom, then outlet bottom to top.

thinnest one I could find to start then up the fattest that would fit.
