[DeTomaso] Notes, warnings, cautions about fuel tank vent replacement?

[Steve Hawkins]

You don't need a spark for a fire only enough heat for ignition.  Ask some
aircraft mechanics how they work on aircraft fuel systems.

Thanks Paul.

JC Christian suggested using an air drill, and I've been lusting after a
good 
90-degree drill for years, so I took it upon myself to capitalize upon the 
situation and just ordered a 90-degree air drill from Harbor Freight.
Earlier 
today I ordered a super-duper fuel filter.   When all the boxes arrive, I'll

get to work.

I presume that the vent window will have to come out, and I know that it
just 
pushes out.   But there's got to be more to it than that--does anybody have 
any tips, tricks, techniques for getting the window out smoothly?

Mike
