Fuel Sensor Recall Prep

I'm about to go in to have the recall work done on the fuel sensor. I know that I should probably bring the car in with as little fuel in the tank as possibile.

But I also have car seats in the back. Should those be taken out? Or will they be able to access the fuel tank without them being removed?

Thanks

Take everything out of the back and a low fuel tank. Rear seat comes out. You'll still have a slight gasoline smell when you pick it up. Can't stop the fumes from rising. I got home and opened the trunk lid to let it air out and sprayed Febreze in the trunk and on the rear passenger carpet. Next day...no smell...
