I have put in a number of compressor lube oil systems, and we typically do not pickle stainless lines. Will have carbon steel from oil storage tanks up to a supply filter, and these are pickled. Downstream of the filter, typically use stainless tubing and fittings, eliminating the scale and weld slag that you are trying to get with pickling. Although you should blow through the assembled tubing runs, to chase out caterpillars, dust bunnies, and bits of stray metal.

Don't ever use gasoline for something like this--much too dangerous. If
you actually need something like gasoline, use stoddard solvent.
