You're probably right. Except there won't be five kids slinging dye across the table. Just one Husky one.

Good stuff, Hunter. I've cleaned many a Coleman fuel tank using that method and it works very well. I boiled them in a vinegar/water solution than added about 50 BBs and shook the bijesus out of 'em. Shiny new. Of course, it helps to sing La Cucaracha while doing it.

It's the only song I can play on a jug.

Rick,
In all seriousness, thanks for the detailed pic of how the top attaches to the canteen. The pic shows that it is simple and quick to modify the connection (adding only a tiny split-ring) so that the cap is easily detached/re-attached.
The chain is aluminum as well so bending the S link to disconnect it is pretty simple. It's a pretty tough aluminum. I don't think you'd bend it with your hands be a pair of pliers would work.

Ergo, adding a split-ring (the kind used in key-rings) would simplify things even more, while removing any danger of metal fatigue...
My goal is to be able to remove the cap so that I can boil water in the canteen, then re-attach the cap afterwards. Yes, boiled water tastes really "flat", but it beats the Bejeebers out of drinking unboiled/unpurified water.

The cap is probably bakelite so I'm a little hesitant to put heat on it. You thoughts of removing the cap are probably sound.
Your boiled water doesn't have to taste flat. Just shake it up. If you reoxygenate the water by shaking it then it will taste better.

I'm the guy on the right. You can always tell by my hiking boots and spiffy knit cap.

Then carry some Kool-Aid. Not the religious zealot we're all gonna ride on the space ship behind the comet Kool-Aid. Just the regular store stuff.
