    I wound try to back flush the hose with something like dry nitrogen
    or dry CO2. This can probably be done by reversing the ends of the
    hoses; the torch hand piece is another issue. Either of these gases
    is pretty non toxic and readily available. I would be extremely
    cautious about using any kind of a solvent or water to flush with.
    You may be able to take your torch handle into a good welding
    supplier and have it refurbished. We have one locally here in
    Indianapolis that sells refurbished torches and regulators. I
    probably wouldn't use the LPG supplier for this however.
