    Was it left out in the sun there could be pressure built up inside the tank. otherwise try an adjustable wrench if you have one

    Give it a spray of WD40 or brake cleaner and if you don't have an oil filter wrench loop a leather belt around it.

    Pour fairly hot water on the cap. Will expand, easier to turn.

    Sellotape a hand grenade to it, pull the pin and run. Usually loosens things up.You will need a hand grenade though. And sellotape.
