<DIV dir=ltr>I've done this a bunch of times to make burn barrels. What I do is use an angle grinder and grind the top "crimp" until you can see you've split it all the way around and then give it a couple good whacks with a hammer. You _probably_ won't ignite hydraulic fluid doing that, but keep something handy to cover the bung in case it does start burning in there.
