(AP) -- Phil DeVore pulls a folded piece of aluminum from a murky pond. The aluminum looks like a piece of siding that's blown off a building, but DeVore knows it's much more valuable than that. He slips a rubber band off the aluminum and unfolds it. He likes what he sees -- 50 or 60 glistening black leeches. They're your common ribbon leeches, Nephelopsis obscura to aquatic biologists.
Storing Used Oil. Used oil can be successfully stored in a cool, dark place for up to a month. Refrigeration or freezing increases the oilâs lifespan by several months. The oil may become cloudy during storage but this is not harmful and the oil will become clear upon reheating.
Just like other oils, coconut oil can be damaged from heat, light and oxygen. The container should be sealed tightly and keep it out of direct sunlight. You can store coconut oil at room temperature. But the hotter the temperature the faster coconut oil will go bad.
