Cut the opening with a new blade, drop pump in. Tape up. Voila. I think this is what most people end up doing.

Look for the Ibc with the larger opening

They come in two different size lids

You can  buy bigger lid kits , cut the old one out make hole bigger  and put on the new lid kit that is what I did
