Quattro Gas Tank Removal

["Josh Banks" <josh@grafeauction.com>]

Hello All,

I have an '85 Audi 4000S Quattro, with a severe leak in the gas tank.  The
tank on the car is located in the trunk behind the back seat.  I believe
that the leak originates from the seam on the far side of the tank.  Does
anybody know the trick to removing this tank?  I have removed the trunk
liner, all of the lines that I have access to and the sleeve around the
filler pipe.  I have also removed the four bolts holding the tank to its
mounting points.  The tank seems to be loose, and moves slightly from side
to side, but I still can not remove it.  It seems like there is a third
mounting point behind the back seat, but I thought I'd do some research
before tearing the car apart.

Any assistance that someone could provide would be greatly appreciated .

Thank you,

Josh Banks
