gary, I did this before, actually several times. What I did is used a decent size pot on a portable stove element. You want a controlled heat and a candy thermometer, and keep the oil at about 220, just enough to get the water boiling, but not hot enough to burn the oil. Dont crank the element up, let it work its temp up. cranking the element on high will burn the oil on the bottom. This will take many many hours, but is definitely doable.

Not so sure how well waiting for ice to form or the water to separate will do.

After you heat the oil til no more bubbles form, use a fine strainer while the oil is warm to filter out any junk. You may have to do this several times, as water is still in the system from the hoses, cylinders and so on.

Hopefully you get her figured out.
