Tried to push the 500' run, got about 300' in before the fiber stopped
pushing. Going to try to splice on spare strands in an existing fiber
in another conduit. The guys who originally installed the conduit put
pull line in all the other parts of the conduit run except for these 2
runs that I'm trying to pull new fiber through.

So, did you try it? I have dug it up half way and cut it and pulled
half before on difficult installs.
Just make sure to put the coupler on one end before you put the fiber
in the other side...

Stiffer and almost floats.

We could try pushing it through. We thought that would be a foolish
endeavor, but we can try. I know how well pushing electric wire works,
but the fiber is stiffer.

Or a fire hydrant? You can get a hydrant meter from the city to use

Do you have a water hose nearby?
Water flowing through the pipe could carry a string/parachute down
the way.
You'd have to find a way to secure the water hose to the conduit but
you can probably figure that out.

I have a 700' and 800' empty, but water filled, 1.25"duct I need to
get fiber through (No pull line). My Rodder is only 600' Is there
anyplace that would rent a 1000' rodder for a couple days? We tried
to shop vac it out, but just not enough pull to get the water out
over that distance. Are there other methods I haven't thought of
yet? I only have home/shop sized air compressors, I'd have to go
rent a scroll compressor to try to blow it.
