Thinking that
the leaky line is a symptom of a clogged tank, are there any tricks to
unclog/clean out an a3 tank?  I don't have an air compressor,
unfortunately.


  Not necessarily.  Lots of air leaks in diesel lines happen with 
NO problems with the tank or outlet.  Try blowing into it from up 
under the hood.  It won't be simple but you should be able to blow 
through reasonably well if you can get behind the fuel filter.  
  Kinda messy but you could just pull the line at the rear wheel and 
see if fuel flows out at a reasonable rate.
