1990 Audi 100 failed fuel pump with charred harness leading to it

[Kneale Brownson]

Why would you remove the tank?  Isn't the fuel pump accessed through an
opening in the trunk?   You'd want the tank to be fairly low in gas, but
not removed, drained, steamed, etc.  unless you're going to repair a
leaking tank.  

Is this a FWD or a quattro?
