The problem with that is you'll be dragging all sorts of junk through the lines, and lodging the precipitates and tars and varnishes and rust particles and little chunks of dirt into the tiny injector holes.

Then you get to buy and install a new set of injectors, and maybe a new pump too. And then the whole deal a few more times all over again until all the stuff in the lines is finally flushed with new fuel.

Best to detach the lines from the injectors and pump, flush the tank, flush the lines with something else besides the in-vehicle pump, and replace the filter prior to attempting a start.
