Dunno.  *Seems* to me that backflushing as Jeff did would be the
truly effective way, and that if the pump is pre-filled with solvent
and kept full it would be pretty safe.  A pocket of vapor won't
ignite if it's over-rich (why you store gasoline cans with a little
gas in the bottom, so they aren't live bombs).  But that's me
thinking, I don't have statistics to back it up in practice.

Yrs,
