They install fiber optic cable through up to 1 mile of pipe by simple blowing air through the pipe. I did this with wire through a 20' PVC pipe once and it workes great. Simply hook up the compresser to a push button jet and blow the line through! It doesn't matter if there is already wire in there!

As an add on to Jeans comment, a Shop Vac works well to pull that masking tape
ball through. Just be sure the available line is short enough so the shop Vac
doesn't eat it.

Hmmm, too bad that couldn't be used to feed through the 2 hydraulic lines and a brake line throught the front struts of the 1800 amphibs. Still remember doing that with mine, but it wasn't easy and took a lot of cussing before finally done. The biggest challenge was getting it around the attach fittings. Then I still remember, too, when I drilled a hole in my strut to attach the steps, I forgot about the lines inside, and sure enough, drilled right into one of the hydraulic lines. So I got some extra practice doing it all over again, and lots more cussing. Anyway, lots of joys building these machines, as you all are finding out.
