[Stoves] Used cooking oils

This is a method used by many farmers to clean and reuse lubricating oil
from the sump of a tractor. The used oil is filled in a container kept on a
table. An empty container is kept at the foot of the table. One takes a
longish rope, of which one end is kept immersed in the used oil and the
other end dangles in the empty container. One can call this a sort of a
capillary siphon, which filters the oil in the process of siphoning it from
the upper container into the lower one. The used oil is black in colour
whereas the oil dripping into the lower container is quite clean, with a
lighter colour.
