Wrong.  These are the *additional* problems that one *might* have thought
would exist with oil that was made in chametz kelim, and might forbid even
a mixture, and therefore one would think that such oils may not even be
used for lighting on the same table as food, but in fact this is not the
case, and even such oils may be used for lighting.  They may *not* be eaten,
not because of the chametz kelim, but because the kitniyos themselves are
forbidden, and the oil is no better than what it was made from.
