5KTQ: R&R fuel pump

[Kneale Brownson]

You'll have a tough time removing ALL the fuel from a Quattro fuel tank
because of its "saddle" nature.  You'd still want a nonsparking drift to
remove the ring.  It's on there pretty firm.  First one I did I used an Oak
stick and hammer.  I now have a brass rod about 1" in diameter and a couple
feet long I use.

I can't remember the 5kq connection for certain, but I thought there was a
banjo bolt at the check  valve.
