Gary: Pete and Stinky are right, let it settle then drain the water off. Since your unlikely to get enough frost in MO, this late in the winter, Stinky's solution is probably out.

The product you bought new could have been saturated with water at some point. Those big tanks you see around refineries, all have 3-4 feet of water in the bottom. this is enviormental protection in case of leaks. They are monitored daily, and if a leak is discovered they can keep adding water until leak is repaired or tank is drained.

When product is pumped off for marketing it is taken from about 1' above the water line. If a tank get disturbed or accidentially purged, they don't remove product for about a week.

Get yourself a 20 gallon barrel with a tap on bottom. After adding product, let it settle for a week, drain water, then have a cloth filter for product to go through on the way to clean containers. Been doing this one for years, None of us can afford to throw out new oil.
