For lack of a MIG welder I could just exhaust my 1984 turbodiesel
into the tank to displace the air, couldn't I? It reminds me of the
old technique for ridding one's yard of gophers...

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
It ought to take months for your oil to go rancid, considering it lasts a
week or so exposed to air at high temperatures.
Displace air with carbon dioxide - when the tank (smaller is better) is just

InterestingI have heard of ping pong balls being used to conserve warmth
in heated swimming pools.
