You'll want to make sure that the oil has been degummed (lecithin gums removed). That's a tuff one to insure even with SVO. Even most of the distributors of fryer oils to restaurants are clueless as to whether or not the oil is degummed. The stuff is murder on deep fat fryers.
Lecithin, while in light doses can behave as a mold release or lubricant, tends to congeal at moderate to high temperatures and build up over time. Most people have seen the end result of lecithin exposed to higher temps on their kitchen bakeware. The same would occur on a chainsaw bar in the areas most prone to heat buildup. Doesn't mean the oil can't be used, just that the bar will have to be monitored tacky gum residue and possibly cleaned with greater frequency. Todd Swearingen ----- Original Message ----- From: T.
