Why are you working on grass? Why are you under a car that is not on stands?
You don't need to drop the gas tank. You can just remove the back seat and use an angle grinder to carefully cut out a square hole above the fuel pump. Much easier.
Those clips you're showing how to undo at the end, you can also just push in on the opposite side you're picking at. Look at 3:54 in the video right above your knife just push down on that white part and it has the same affect as picking the opposite end apart like you were doing. It'll save you time and frustration. I'd also recommend spraying off the dirt and dust before removing the fuel pump lock ring and fuel pump.
Where is the fuel filter?
I can't believe they decided it was a good idea to remove the fuel pump access door like you can do on the old 9-5's What the heck saab >:(
