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

I've never seen a variable speed air drill - not to say one doesn't exist.
But I'd be very careful to make sure the one you buy doesn't just run full
throttle all the time.

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
