SVO + Dewatering

Post by b1lly »

When using brand new svo from the can, do I need to dewater it or can I put it straight into a seperate tank?

I have not yet looked into supplies until I know if I have to dewater new clean svo.

I presume I will be able to get it at a reasonable price, in Australia we have alot of olive oil, etc.

If it is unused oil there shouldn't be any need to dewater it. The water gets introduced from the foods that get fried in the oil.
