How to clean the fuel pump of a Citroen Xara Picasso

Model: Citroen Xsara MK 1 - Years 1997-2006
Part: Fuel pump

In this video we can see how the youtuber solved the problem of reaching the fuel filter of the Citroen Xara Picasso: normally, the tank would have to be removed, and it would have been a rather big job. Instead, he preferred to solve it in this brilliant way: he removed the rear seat, cut the carpet to reach the metal sheet, cut the metal sheet itself to reach the filter, creating a sort of cap that allowed him to access the filter from above. He was able to remove the filter, clean it, and then put it back in place: it was then easy to put everything back in place.
