big problem (with pic)
i just drilled mine out!! lol, im gunna use soem sealent to put it back in and prolly wedge something between it and the cover to hold it donw or something! but hopefully ill have a fuel cell soon so it will be all good 
o, and to protect urself from heat get some drill chill to keep it cold (its good for teh bits too lol) but WD-40 will work if u have some on hand, thats what i used..........thats what i always use when drilling at home cause im a cheap bastard and dont wanna run to the store to get some drill chill hahahah
an di used a bit that was just barly smaller than the bolt head so when i got the head off it spun and thats how i knew i was done

cant believe no one has mention that he will need to drain the tank if he dremels or drill it...ANY spark and you are toast...drain the tank then just drill out the old bolts and then replace them..use a smaller bit then the bolts and with a little skill you will have the pump out in no time...If you dont want to drain the tank then run it empty-but that is not the best idea because you will pump some gunk into your fuel system
he does notHAVE to drain the tank, i didnt!! like i said, use some kind of lube and keep it wet!! not damp, not al little wet but DRENCHED!!! i sprayed every like 5 seconds!! and i sprayed a generous amount!! i think i went through over half a can (economy sie or wat ever.......the big arosol!!) on it and it diodnt take that long to get threw the bolt heads

^^^oh yea, that'll work
I wouldn't go so far as draining my tank....you'll never get all the fumes out of it. Just drill slow and steady....you'll get it. Use a small bit it will cut faster then go up in size.

All you have to do is save one screw and take it to the hardware store and match it. Chanches are one of them will come out. You might try that first. see if you can get one out before destroying the rest of them.
