My father told me of geting water out of motor oil and hyd. oil with some cleaning the oil for reuse as in 1930 and in WWII oil was hard to buy for him . He use 8" pipe 5' long with cap on it with niple on cap end with shutoff valve pipe was mounted on wall verticle with valve end down . Befor draining oil he stuff clean rags in bottom 10'' of pipe close valve on bottom of pipe pour oil in top of pipe . A light bulb was placed under valve , oil that was cleaned by the rags , drop on light bulb drop at a time . The heat of bulb evaporate the water and clean oil with no water was drop into and stored in to a clean 5 Gal bucket to be resused in motor of vehicle next oil changing time .

NOTE I will not use this old way due to posible big oil fire with light bulb starting it!!! Cheaper to buy good oil than replace your home but it interesting how people got by with no money in the 1930 and with shortage in war time.
