Right. I am now thoroughly depressed. I, and every line mech/tech/eng I have ever met always opens a can with a GS or Leatherman type tool. Never seen anyone give it a good shake either, or witnessed 'frothing' in the sight glass, whether it be RR, GE, PW, IAE or CFM. (Not saying it doesn't happen).
For nearly 30 years I have been doing it wrong!

Apparently.

If anyone has documented reference material that can be used to back up some of the above statements I promise to change my 'practice'. In the meantime I won't be applying for a job on helicopters run by one of ex-Bristows finest.
