brought the beast (allen wrench) to work today. I think we AT LEAST have an anlgle grinder around here. I just need to take .1mm of each of the six sides. I think I have a micrometer too. When done, I'll have the perfect tool.
Since this is for the alternative fuel test car, I want a good tool, becuase if I screw up the mix or do something else stupid (inevitable), I may need to drain the tank again (and maybe again).
