I would have thought that one of the non-soluble..... whatever you call 
non-soluble suds, would have been ideal in that situation.

Hi Phill
My shop gets pretty cold in winter too, and I've had the problems you 
describe.  Turn on the pump and what comes out mostly water, the oil having 
turned to a sludge at the bottom of the tank.  Stirring it up with a stick 
works to some extent, but I eventually finish up ditching the stuff, which 
is a problem because you can't pour it down the drains.

Have you tried different mixture strengths?  I normally use only 5%, perhaps 
a higher concentration might be better.  Anyone else got any better ideas?

Regards
Ron
