Due to limited time (I need to get the plane back together by Friday for my CI), I need to modify my tank in order to install the float type sending units that I picked up from Van's yesterday. Problem is, the builder of my RV6 built it with capacitive sending units in mind, and didn't leave a large enough hole for the float type sending unit to fit through.

It's easy enough to open the hole - I can make a guide plate for a hole saw that attaches to the flange. My concern with that method is to do so without getting aluminum swarf in the tank, or to be able to know that it is completely cleaned out after the cut is done.
So I'm looking for thoughts / ideas of how to open up this hole and avoid swarf in the tank.
Thanks
