I HAVE REMOVED MOISTURE FROM OIL BY USING  DRY, oven baked, lime stone lumps
and heating the oil to the point where it just starts to smoke with the lime
stone in the oil. Caution the oil will be hot enough to scald you and can
catch fire so have a cover lid to put the fire out. Do it outside and NOT in
a covered space so the vapor won't explode in a confined space. The process
is potentially dangerous and will take about 1 hour at temperature not
including heat up and cool down time. NOT worth the effort with small
amounts of oil.                   Robert  H
