I don't know how you'd do this, in fact....  The first time this happened to
me was before I read the TSB.  I noticed "sand" in my tank (I thought vandal
and/or sugar).  I siphoned all the gasoline out, cleaned the tank, and put
the pump back in.  Lasted less than a week.  When this happened to my 5ktqw,
it lasted about 20minutes.

Do know that the pump screen is redundant, the pump sits in a sealed
enclosure at the bottom of the tank, which has a screen around it already.  I
would have no hesitation cutting the screen off the bottom of any fuel pump
for the audi 5k/200

  Wallace,

  I think as long as you took some time to clean out
any stuff from in the tank you will be good to leave
the screen on.
I did.
Thanks
Ron
