(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.
If the oil is open, it is wise to store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to 3 years as well. However, an open container or jar of peanut oil stored in the pantry or on top of the counter will last for a shorter period â about 2 years. That depends on the quality of the peanut oil itself.
