Chris,

First, stay away from any open fire or very hot
objects(particularly metals).

Second, Open the small cap first slowly to allow the
air pressure to equalize.

and lastly open the big cap.

As much as possible keep the caps on as moisture would
easily accumulate in the methanol.

Some companies use faucets attached to the heads and
have the drums tilt, the get from the faucets
minimizing moisture contact.

Ken Chua
