Hi All

I have a 20L Bushranger Stainless Steel Jerry Can (http://www.bushranger.com.au/jerry_can.php). Neither the screw cap nor breather screw appear to be made of stainless steel - I'm not even sure they are made of the same thing.

After not using for a coupe of years (it was stored empty but with the cap on, has only ever had tap water in it), I went to take off the cap, and cannot budge it. I've given it a few taps with a hammer, and run it under hot water, but nothing.

The breather screw I was able to undo as it has a slotted head - and it shows heavy corrosion - with the thread very rough in part. It is not rusty - more heavily pitted.

Does anyone know what the caps on these tanks are made of?

Any tips/tricks for geting it undone?

Is this a warranty issue? Or am I to blame for storing it with the cap on?
