A4q fuel filter

[Douglas Frank]

Hoo-ee, this is a b*tch to get at.  On a q, it's located on the r.f. corner of
the gas tank, and it looks like you gotta drop the tank to get at the filter
body clamp.  (Maybe that's why Bentley doesn't mention a change interval...?)

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone's actually done this and can tell me
what size hex key the clamp takes.

And, what's at the top (outlet) end of the filter-- is there a hose or a hard
pipe?  If a hose, then once the clamp is undone, you could drop the filter to
get at the outlet fitting... and it'd be worth while to invent a trick tool
for undoing the filter body clamp without dropping the tank!

thx for any BTDT
