I have a related question. Can anyone think of something that would float on the surface of the WVO without melting?
I would like to reduce oxidation and increase storage life by covering the surface area of WVO stored in a large tank with a lot of floating objects that won't melt in the WVO...maybe ping pong balls? Styrofoam peanuts? Scraps of bubble pack? Would home heating oil float on the WVO or mix with it? Is there some other oil that would float on WVO? I have scavenged three home heating oil tanks that I hope to use for my future WVO Collection Coop. These 265 gallon tanks are about 5 feet long x 30 inches high x 18 inches wide. The ends are ovoid. So what this means is that a partial tank of WVO exposes a surface area of somewhat less than 5 feet by 18 inches to the air within the tank. Thoughts or ideas? Thanks!
