I usually shake the cap before gutting it. Most times it is solid. One time, methinks, it was a Zenith one, a slender fella, had liquid in it. So often do the Mershons.
I then drilled a hole and drained it before proceeding.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
