well if your pump is burned out, the only way to change is to drop the axle as far as possible, remove the muffler, unstrap the tank and slip it out at a off angle due to the filler neck.
So when its out, then clean out the tank using some solvents, flush and add a new pump.

don't recommend it because of the nature of being a hazard in a rear end situation
also, how do you expect to flush out anything from the tank while it's in the car? if it's that contaminated that it'll clog the pump and injectors, then I'd give the tank a good rinse down in the solvent wash.
