"Want to add a fuel sender to a an aluminum diesel fuel tank. Is it ok just to drill into it with a hole saw when there is diesel fuel in the tank, taking care to vacuum up the cuttings as it is being cut with a shop vac so little falls into the tank? Is this safe or will the battery drill motor spark/s or heat from the friction of the drill be unsafe with the diesel fuel still in the tank?

"You don't have to worry about a fire or explosion, I would worry more about the scraps getting into the tank and into the engines fuel system. I wonder if using a hole saw to get almost through, stopping, clean up well, then finish with a small jig saw would be less messy. Just a thought, what do others think?"
