My only problem is that if I am going to use self taping screws to reseal the cover to the pump some shavings might fall do to the screws tapping themselfs in for the first time. Anyway I will let you know how it goes

I found trying to seal it with silicone simply didnt work, when we had to drill, we drained the gas out of the plug on the bottom of the tank (I HIGHLY recomend a VOC resporator and safty glasses unless you want to get very high) if posible flow inert gas like CO2 or Argon into the tank, because once you drain the liquid gas you left with any empty tank full of flamible vapors, you can also fill the tank with water but its a huge pain in the ass
Remember to use anti-sieze during reassembly, or you will have to do all this over
