2 holes to connecting the pump



25042645039_e1592a2de1_z.jpg

 

Only managed to find 10mm drill bit at nearby hardware shop

25384050846_5186337a9a_z.jpg

 

And the hole diameter is about 21-22mm

Have to use file to file until the diameter which can fit in the fillport, 

when filing it looks like i'm masxxrbatxxg and the process took about 90mins

good thing about PETG tubes. u can use this cutter to cut, finishes much more better than using jigsaw
