Default Water in fuel door

Got water in the fuel door. What's the best way to clean the drain or should I replace it.

I'd push a wire through or shoot compressed air into the port ( if u have a compressor). As I recall the drain is pretty much straight down.

I usually find they block at the bottom of the drain tube - plugged with mud.

Thanks guys. Was afraid it would be lots of rust. Going to use wire first then get some compressed air through it.
