I used to just put a big pipe wrench on them, but too often left a couple bite marks :oops: On the other hand, probably not too bad if it balances out the marks where someone had hammered it years earlier. :lol:
Haven't tried it on a gas cap, but I wonder how a chain wrench would fair?
Dry ice like Bob mentioned may work well, even better if you can keep something warm around the neck;I have done that a few times, but again I haven't tried it on a gas cap.
If they are crazy tight, yet it's clean enough fill it with water through the bottom; heat may work; especially in combination with the dry ice. Of course if it's full of water (were these fully solid? I'll need to look), and you don't want to damage the edges at all, you could braze a big 'ol nut on the top and wrench on that; melt it off later and clean up the brase with a wire wheel or a file and sandpaper. I done that to quite a few things, but yet again not a gas cap......
....I better bite my tonque now, as I haven't taken the caps off that 22-36 yet! :wink:

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
