What to Do When the Oil Drum Cap Won't Open?

[MacMalachi]

Here are methods to open the oil drum cap: 1. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry it open. If that doesn't work, you can try the following method: chisel a series of small holes along the edge of the drum, then enlarge these holes. 2. There is a strip of adhesive tape under the drum cap that can be peeled off. After removing it, use two screwdrivers to pry and open the cap simultaneously. 3. There is a joint at the edge of the drum cap. Disconnect it from this point, peel off the seal, then insert a screwdriver between the drum cap and the drum's upper opening to pry (it's best to use two screwdrivers alternately). After prying open half or two-thirds of the cap, you can remove it by hand.
