Todd, It is from a restaraunt. I've since gotten good results from another batch of oil from them, but this batch was mixed a little with residual motor oil and gasoline. The main formation of the gum was on the top, but after pumping it into another container I realized that it had formed sparadically through the batch. I've tried to strain it out, but it clogs all but my basic strainer.
Thanks!
