When im sanitizing a keg i'll pump sanitizer through. A short blast of co2 will pump a bunch though. I use Idophor, but starsan would probably work the same. It seems to have worked for me so far, but I'm pretty regular on sanitizing my kegs.

Excellent- this is exactly what I was intending doing.
I usually wash my kegs with oxyclean, then pump about a gallon through the hose, rinse with water with about a gallon through the hose, then sanitize with StarSan with about a gallon through the hose.
Just curious why are you choosing not to use something like Beer Line Cleaner, which is designed for this purpose?
I don't have the bottle handy but IIRC one is supposed to recirculate or continuously pump through BLC for 15 minutes. One shot for a couple of minutes, regardless of how it is pushed through the lines (either pump or CO2) wouldn't seem to be enough.

I don't have BLC and my process has been good enough so far (only 2 years).
He was talking about cleaning lines, not kegs. I use PBW for keg cleaning myself.
