Fuel pump? - Kneale Brownson 2017-05-13 21:06:59 (249 views)
- Can you put a "how to" in the Allroad FAQ when you finish? - CalG 2017-05-15 11:54:39 (173 views)
  - Too bad all the old AW resources were deprecated. Here's my old write up from '06 - Robert G :: SHAKE N BAKE! 2017-05-16 03:29:47 (131 views)
- You will need to evacuate practically all of the fuel! There are three access lids: one on top cente - KBATTPO 2017-05-14 19:44:14 (158 views)
  - IMHO, one should either completely drain the tank and completely evacuate the fuel vapors OR - Dave Doolittle 2017-05-15 11:06:00 (144 views)
    - Dave, How would you propose to remove all vapors? - CalG 2017-05-15 14:06:09 (119 views)
      - I would open the doors and run a 24" box fan blowing across the open hatch(es) of the fuel tank  -  Dave Doolittle  2017-05-15 15:00:22 (201 views)
        
        With that said, I prefer to do fuel pump replacements with a full tank and a fire extinguisher  -  Dave Doolittle  2017-05-15 15:01:37 (159 views)
        
        You'll get frostbitten even in July and you'll get a splitting headache. The tank needs to be empty.   -  KBATTPO  2017-05-15 15:37:21 (126 views)
        
        I've done several with full tanks. No frostbite involved...at least not with typical US gasoline.   -  Dave Doolittle  2017-05-16 17:57:07 (135 views)
        
        Hasn't Kneal just disproven the assumption of an empty tank?  -  CalG  2017-05-15 18:09:30 (166 views)
        
        No. I haven't seen the pix yet. The picture in another topic shows that the pump in his 2004 2.7T  -  KBATTPO  2017-05-15 20:12:06 (193 views)
        
        It sure looks as though the pump is in the lowest part of the fuel tank   -  CalG  2017-05-15 21:25:45 (165 views)
        
        Yes, that's what I also suspect.   -  KBATTPO  2017-05-15 21:31:10 (142 views)
  - This would be my second AR fuel pump - Kneale Brownson 2017-05-14 19:59:34 (157 views)
    - I think below 1/4 tank should be needed when replacing the fuel pump??? - want 2017-05-14 21:43:21 (184 views)
      - Not in an AR.  -  Kneale Brownson  2017-05-14 21:54:20 (209 views)
        
        Please reconfirm it. I'm 99% sure that below 1/4 tank is needed.   -  want  2017-05-14 23:45:57 (139 views)
        
        Please post a picture of yours because mine was totally different.  -  KBATTPO  2017-05-14 22:51:46 (212 views)

        Looking at that picture gave me some anxiety from all the frustrating hours dealing with those lol   -  bobmusick  2017-05-16 08:15:11 (124 views)
    - Yes, type 44 (sedans) were a pain. Just did one in my UrS6 (sedan) - was also a pain. No headroom. - KBATTPO 2017-05-14 21:25:35 (179 views)

- Get under it and beat on tank while someone cranks. - running_cold924 2017-05-13 22:18:54 (184 views)
  - How about lifting rear seat to hit tank? - Kneale Brownson 2017-05-13 22:29:53 (153 views)
    - Probably not as effective as the pump is sitting close to the bottom. - running_cold924 2017-05-14 08:48:05 (145 views)
