I like your thinking Dave. Wait until summer, heat it to 150F, filter that
stuff and put 3 gallons in a 1/2 empty tank before taking a short drive to the
diesel fill station to fill the tank. 2 times of doing this and you should be
able to get ride of the old stuff. I have done with with my neighbors turkey
fry grease as well.

Just for reference for everyone: Last night I cooked chicken wings in oil that
I've had for two years!
Bought it to cook the 2008 Thanksgiving turkey. Then the oil sat in my garage
sealed in the original boxes (keeps air and light away) and it cooked the 2009
Thanksgiving turkey. Cooked some wings a couple times last winter and then the
oil was stored away in the same manner again until this last Thanksgiving, where
it cooked it's 3rd turkey.
I figure (from info gained on this list when considering it's use for the 2009
turkey) that if it doesn't taste funky and doesn't smell funky, it is probably
ok. Sure helps me feel better spending all that money for the oil if I can get
a lot more use out of it.
I'm thinking that I'll keep my eye out for fresh oil on sale between now and
next year's Thanksgiving and get a fresh batch then.
Moral of the story: If it doesn't smell funky, burn it!
