Anyone know how to remove the translucent fuel cup in the picture above? Is there a special tool for it? I think regular pliers or a crescent wrench will
probably break it since its screwed in quite tightly.

An open end wrench or an adjustable wrench either one would work. It kind of doesn't matter how tight it is. If you feel that you have to remove it. Then put a wrench on it and unscrew it.
The worst that could happen is that it would crack and you would have to buy a new one. If you don't have to take it off don't take it off. Those cups are always tight because the top
edge of it is seated on a rubber washer. If you do remove it, before you put it back on. Rub just a thin layer of grease on the edge.
