Default What cleaning solution to water in oil cooler and lines?

My previous engine blew a head gasket and got water in the oil, so obviously all in the oil lines, cooler, and filter lines as well... Im reassembling a new motor and need to get all that milky oil out of the lines and cooler... Someone told me kerosene, but I cant seem to find it anywhere around here this time of the year!

Is kerosene the best option or is there something else that I can use that will work??
Dont want to just try some crap that may damage or eat away at the rubber lines!

Thanks in advance....
Chris

Diesel is very similar to kerosene.

Kerosene or Diesel. I hope you didn't pay 45 bucks for a pail of Kerosene at HD....
