[s-cars] Need help with removal of fuel line

[Robert Rossato]

 Good morning S-heads,

Sending a request for help out for my friend Bys who experienced a ruptured
fuel line on his S4. The rubber fuel line that goes from the top of the fuel
tank to the hard line running along the floor pan of the car ruptured and
he's having difficulty in removing it. He's disconnected both ends but it
seems to be still be held in elsewhere. Wherever it is mounted doesn't seem
to be easily accessible. Is there anyone out there that can confirm whether
the fuel tank needs to be dropped or at least lowered to be able to remove
this line, or is there some trick to getting this line out without
disassembling the car?

The line in question is Item #1 here (you will probably have to log in to
the site to be able to see it).

The failure happened while he was driving on I-91 near Hartford.  He started
losing power and thought he had lost a boost hose.  Somebody came alongside
to motion him over.  He pulled over to find a 6ft spray of fuel coming from
in front of the right rear tire. The ensuing commotion managed to
essentially shut down the highway as they had a hazmat truck, two fire
trucks, and a couple of state police vehicles at the scene.

Any help will be appreciated.
