Default fuel issues

ok so heres the deal....im a marine, im in iraq, and on my base there is a battalion of Iraqi Army soldiers....the Iraqi soldiers have a 2006 F-350 6.0L. they came to our Motor T shop today while i was fixing a piece of gear and said they had water in the fuel. well im no mechanic, i had them drain the fuel tank, which they did, but they still have water in the lines, i looked at it, the fuel going into the filter bowl is almost like a, coffee with cream color, i need to find out if its possible to drain the lines, or are they pretty much f#kd? any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated, not only by myself, but also by our Iraqi brothers-in-arms. -

I am no Pawerstroke mechanic but I bet you could disconect the injector lines from the injectors and blow them out backwards, just make sure that you do nto try to blow backwards through the fuel delivery pump (CP3 on GM and Dodge, not sure bout the Powerstroke). Then re-prim the system with good fuel and you should be good to go. -

could you just disconnect the injector lines and let the fuel pump just pump it all out? -

You could I guess but the fuel pump needs lubrication so I would let it pump the good fuel through until all of the old is out then reconect the lines. Make sure to clean-up the spilled fuel though to try to prevent a fire. -

well the PS's dont have an Inj. pump they are called HEUI injectors and are run off of high pressure oil, so my suggestion would be to replace the lines and be done with it... -

My bad i would remove the lines and blow them out with compressed air (i hope you guys at least have that) and then start dumping good clean diesel down thru them to try and clean them out as good as possible and then hook back up and enjoy -
