I don't have the patience or skill of bbrock. I'm also lazy. I used a 1.5" hole saw to open a hole on the bottom, dumped out charcoal, refilled it and sealed it back up with a piece of duct tape. Once it's mounted on the gas tank, the duct tape isn't visible. !0-15 minutes.

That was the only problem I had with the drill method, but it was a big one. I guess with a 1.5" hole, you could probably get the springs and sandwich re-positioned before refill? |

I don't remember the exact size of the hole saw but I was able to hold the internal pieces in place long enough to get it mostly filled and then packed some more in. I might have used something to wedge the parts in place. It was a while ago. I was thinking the next time I would use a hole saw the same size as the rubber disks that close off the holes in the front trunk. |
