Been meaning to get my oil purification setup going for a while now but keep getting sidetracked or delayed by lack of an oil source.
Well I finaly got a good oil source for peanut oil and have started collecting some. My plan is to store the dirty oil in a 500 gallon tank and process it as I need it for my truck.
I have about 100 gallons that I collected about 8 months ago from a pizza place that has been sitting in two 55 gallon plastic drums ever since. I pumped out on of the barrels and the oil on top looked good but the bottom was about 8 gallions of water, probably from some rain getting in.
1. Is this oil still good or does it go bad? Should I just get rid of this old pizza place oil and only use the newer peanut oil Im getting?
2. Do I need to worry about the oil in my storage tank going bad (up to 500 gal) if it does go bad how can I tell?
3. What do you guys do with unusable oil and the watery junk from the bottom of barrels?
Thanks in advance for any advice, can't wait to get this going I'v got alot of to do.
