Okay I have banged and used pliers and I cannot get the top open on my race gas barrell!

HELP!

 

Get a can opener!!

 

Do you have a blow torch?

 

...bung wrench

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

You gotta be careful with ideas like that. Someone might just try it!



KABOOOOM!!!

 

Funny, I've had the same problem. I'm sure VP has a better tool but I end up using vice grips clamped onto middle of the cap and a screw driver wedged between the vice grip to turn. Works ok. Will you be using low boost at the track? I know you've strengthened internals but I'd be careful with the boost.
Have fun!

 

tap it like a keg.

 

hey fellas how many gallons is that drum of racegas ?? and how much do they go for ?? im looking to get one also..

 

buddy you need one of these...
check with Grainger or Mcmaster Carr but i know you want in right away so try clamping vise grips vertically on the plug and putting a big cresent wrench on the v grips to turn it open. I have done this when i can't find our wrench in our the fuel room

 

Damn i wanted to use the Blow Torch joke...

Ours is a simple top offset that you can twist off with a crescent wrench. If you need pics let me know.

 

Be very careful to to make any sparks!! Those things can explode because of static discharge, too.


What do you guys do about getting the permits necessary to store that much fuel?

 

Thanks for the real answers guys! The rest of you suck!

 

This isn't a reverse thread is it? I just put 2 crescent wrenches on and couldn't budge it turning to the left?

 

Finally got it! Dang that thing was on tight!

I am planning on running the pump program which is plenty fast but I want to use the good fuel as well.

This is a 30 gallon drum which should last for the weekend I hope!

 

LOL...If you cant get it open, you should not be using it.
