Title: that time of year
Post by: Rotary-Motion on March 30, 2013, 08:03:43 AM: hi all

need to take action and aid the natural heat / separation of the ol veg oil in these continued climes of very cold minus weather, i havwe started tucking in my 60 ltr tubs for the day and night to help drop water, as this is whats making me stored oil mush and not thin enough to get going filtering...
