well i dont know about hydraulic fluid as a fuel, but yes alot of it probabl gets wasted from moisture contAMINATION. Make sure to start it on a semi low flame and stir it rather frequently. The last thing you wanna do is burn 5 gallons of that gold. It will never look like new, but after the water is out, and the oil is filtered, it should be more then good enough to reuse or top off the fluids. Seems like most the people here thought I was a bit loopy when I posted my apparatus for separating, boiling and filtering my fluid. I still ended up buying 5 gallons of it, but still saved some money and i got about 4 gallons left for topping it off and whatnot. If yo can get some pics, it'd be nice to check it out. You'll know its finish because it will actually form bubbles at the surface like when u put some water in a deep fryer, not nearly as violent because of the lower temp, but when you dont see anymore bubbles forming, you know its done. Whats really weird is if you spill the fluid on your tractor like i did, come out a week later in the garage and open the door and let humid are in and it hits the cold tractor and condeses and turns all the fluid white, it looks really weird, hahaha BTW, after u get all this sorted out, might be best to put a new filter on her too.
