Opening turbine oil cans properly?
Hi everyone, hope no-one minds a quick (sort-of aviation related) question.
I've got a number of gas turbines I run as a hobby (M701C-500, WR27-1 and GTD-350), and I'm not sure if I'm opening the metal 1 quart oil cans the correct way.
I've just been popping a very sharp flat-head screwdriver through the lids so far, but yesterday somebody pointed out "won't you get flakes of metal in the oil?"...hmmm, didn't think of that!
So, what's the normal method that's used? Should I move to using a can-opener or might that make even more chance of generating swarf?
