I'm pretty sure it's ok to pull the plug out and use a rag to soak up the pressurized fuel that comes out, correct? Also, should the shrader valve come out pretty easily or is it tight like a mofo? Other thant that, I think I should have everything down. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
