Not necessarily a good idea.  It can drain sludge and debris from the tank into 
the fuel filter.
 
A better idea is to do it the way Audi documents - drain the tank, put in the 
standard amount, and calibrate the gauge.  I have the instructions for the 
various ur-quattro gauges - the same instructions must exist for other cars.
