If you want to go down that path, may I suggest "The World's Best Cat Litter" - most litters are clay based (and no good for the fire), this one is made from maize, and is *much more* absorbant than clay based litters - I have tried it, well the cats have :-) Look up item no. 23553 on http://www.pet-supermarket.co.uk/ As someone else said, I woudn't put it in a waste oil tank - these really are for re-cycling, and you wouldn't want to put a load of rubbish in it.
