Default cleaning fuel lines... air or cleaner?

gotta have the fuel lines (solid ones in enginebay between fuel dizzy n injectors) off the car soon so figured i'd give em a quick blow thru with some compressed stuff whilst i'm there just incase theyre clogged up with shite...

just wanted to check if i should be using just compressed air or can i use carb cleaner?

was planning literally on just sticking the straw in 1 end, giving it a quick squirt (more than just a quick one of it looks blocked) then leaving em to dry for a few minutes before re-fitting

and if they were dirty you'd know and the dirt/grim would be at injector end/or head as in your system
