That could only be an issue if you don’t blow the lines out properly. I did an experiment a few years back for sceptical friend to show him how well it works. I took a 100’ coil of clear fuel hose and hooked to to tap, then with it standing vertically hooked it to the compressor with the regulator set to 50 psi. There wasn’t a drop left in the line.
The issue arises when someone uses a very small compressor that can’t maintain the required pressure for very long, or just doesn’t perform the task correctly.
Depending on who you ask 50psi is more pressure by almost 2 times as what a lot of folks recommend for the max air pressure to blow out your lines and is from what I can tell at the very max of what anyone recommends. Of course the more pressure and larger capacity the better the job, but the question which is an unknown is for your particular trailer (especially with regards to its specific configuration like were the inlet for blowing out is in relation to say the water pump and low point drains) is just what is that pressure and air compressor capacity needed to do the job right and avoid the issue I mentioned. If you guess wrong it could be a fairly expensive mistake and you really are sort of guessing.
