What happens here

For each barrel intended for DEF, install a spigot or bung adapter at the lowest possible point on the barrel's side (when oriented horizontally, as seen in the video). Ensure a tight, leak-proof seal. It's advisable to also install an air vent on the opposite, higher side of the barrel to allow air to enter as fluid is dispensed, preventing a vacuum and ensuring smooth flow. Carefully lift and place the prepared barrels onto the assembled elevated shelving unit, ensuring they are stable and positioned correctly for dispensing.

Goal: Modify barrels for dispensing and place them securely on the elevated shelf.
