WVO storage

[larryj]

Any one know the shelf life of WVO



I have got 4 ,300 Gal tote tanks.

How would I prepair this for storage.

say 1 year to 18 mo

south Louisiana

if its dewatered and clean then drop a gallon of diesel fuel in it. if its dirty and not dewatered then clean and dewater it. store it inside and cool if possable if not then put a tarp over it and it will hold for years.



The water in the oil makes it go bad. the diesel will kill any bugs that are left.



I store totes all winter long outside the oil turns to a lump of goo and then in the summer it back to oil and I burn it no problem at all.



Hope this helps you.

If it does go bad you can still use it, heat good to dewater, but be warned it'll be stinky! I burned some stuff lately that had sat nearly 3 years and had gotten a little moldy. After dewatering & filtering it still had a smell, but it burns the same.
