MOREY’S® UPPER CYLINDER LUBRICANT

The first step needed to implement the MOREY’S® Lubrication System is the removal of carbon and varnish deposits from the upper engine area.
MOREY’S® Upper Cylinder Lubricant & Combustion Chamber Cleaner when mixed with the fuel at 650:1, dissolves the resins and gums holding the deposits in place.

Deposits form on pistons, rings and valves, reducing the engine’s ability to use fuel efficiently.

These deposits cause an uneven and incomplete burn in the combustion chamber.

This results in sticking rings and accelerated engine wear.

MOREY’S® Upper Cylinder Lubricant removes these deposits thus returning components to a more efficient state allowing the engine to function Properly.

Additional fitting/operating instructions not included in the instruction booklet.
Initial start up - warm to tropical climatic conditions
The Power Booster metering unit UCL control screw is set at the factory to meter 2 drops of Morey’s Combustion Chamber Cleaner & Upper Cylinder Lubricant (UCL) per minute at 15°C this setting is sufficient to start the Power Booster metering unit working at an ambient temperature of 15°C and over. It is not recommended to alter the initial setting until UCL begins to enter the Power Booster meter chamber. If a faster start up rate is absolutely necessary open (turn anti clock wise) the UCL control screw a further quarter turn only. If the UCL control screw is opened more than a further quarter turn UCL drops may not form, instead UCL enters the Power Booster meter chamber in a continuous stream, giving the impression that the unit is not functioning. To remedy the streaming effect slowly close (turn clock wise) the UCL control screw until UCL drops do form. Once drops are forming set the UCL control screw to the desired drip rate and follow the instructions in the booklet for final setting.

Initial start up - moderate to cold climatic conditions
Follow the instructions in the previous paragraph with the following exception. It is recommended that prior to filling the Power Booster UCL supply bottle, that the UCL is warmed to at least 15°C by placing the original container in an upright position, with the cap attached, in hot water only for approximately 15 minutes. Wipe water from wet container before filling the Power Booster UCL supply bottle.

Setting drop rates higher than 8 drops per minute all conditions
To set drop rates from 12 to 22 drops per minute. Prior to filling the Power Booster UCL supply container, the UCL must be heated to 30 – 40°C by placing the original container in an upright position, with the cap attached, in hot water only for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Once the required UCL temperature has been reached transfer it to the Power Booster UCL supply bottle, start the engine, leave the meter at factory setting until oil drops appear then slowly open the UCL control screw by turning anti clock wise until the desired drop rate has been obtained. Allow the system to settle down then make the final drop rate adjustment. NOTE: When high drop settings are in place it is normal for the UCL to stream (not form drops) at cold start-up conditions. Once normal operating temperature has been reached drops will form.

SAFETY: DO NOT EXPOSE UCL OR ITS CONTAINER TO NAKED FLAMES OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.

The Power Booster metering unit is designed to operate at a constant pre-set drip rate during high/low vacuum at normal under hood operating temperature. For the most economic use of UCL the final setting should be regulated to this condition.

Under hood space in modern vehicles is becoming increasingly crowded. With this in mind the Power Booster Lubrication System was designed to be two separate components in order to utilise the limited available space. Prior to installing the Power Booster system arrange to keep the UCL supply container and the Power Booster metering unit as close to each other as possible. The closer these two components are the sooner the Power Booster metering unit will start operating when the engine is started. The maximum distance of the Power Booster metering unit may be mounted from the UCL supply container is the extreme length allowed by the UCL pick up line (smaller tube). Depending on the length of the UCL pick up line, and the ambient temperature, a time delay of up to 5 minutes can occur from cold engine start up until UCL drops appear in the Power Booster metering unit. This delay is normal and should not cause concern.

If the UCL oil bottle and the Power Booster metering unit are mounted to the extreme distance allowed by the UCL pick up line it is best to keep the UCL discharge (larger) tube as long as possible. A longer discharge tube enables UCL to be available to the engine at cold start up, compensating for the delayed start up time of the Power Booster metering unit.

To ensure correct operation the top of the Power Booster metering unit where the UCL pick up tube enters the Power Booster metering unit must remain unobstructed. Under no circumstances seal off the top of the Power Booster metering unit where the oil pick up line enters the meter, doing so will render the Power Booster metering unit erratic and unreliable. A valve critical to the operation of the Power Booster metering unit will also be rendered useless, as well as void the Morey’s ® Power Booster warranty.

SPHAGNUM peat moss is only found north of the 49th parallel and has the highest moisture absorbency characteristics of all the known peat mosses. In its natural state in the Spill-Sorb “Fison” peat bogs of Parkland County, Alberta, each lb./kg of sphagnum moss retains from 9 to 14 lbs./kg of water.

Spill-Sorb Canada Inc. then cultivates this high grade 90% moisture content raw resource to a 60% content through bog preparation and aeration. It is then carefully harvested, screened, and brought to our Entwistle plant where our specialized heat treatment and air drying process reduces the moisture content to 10%. At this level the peat fiber’s water retention features change so that its cellular structure now becomes singularly hydrophobic (resistant to water) and has a natural affinity to absorbing and encapsulating hydrocarbons. This activated peat is then double compressed into 4 cubic foot/200 litre and 2 cubic foot/100 litre bags for shipment to our worldwide network of licensed Spill-Sorb Master Stocking Distributors.

Natural absorption. We call it “Environmental Intelligence.”

Spill-Sorb is a non-toxic, all natural, 100% organic, lab-tested, field proven, industrial absorbent that is economical, efficient, non-abrasive, non-toxic, non-leaching and in its natural state is already biodegraded. The inherent capillary action of the activated peat provides a powerful wicking action and encapsulates oils, solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and all other organic chemicals on contact.

Spill-Sorb suppresses vapours and absorbs hydrocarbons on land or water, in dry or wet conditions, and does not require specially trained technicians or high tech equipment for handling or disposing of the spent peat.

Spill-Sorb weighs little and affords users the ability to carry more, clean up more, and save on transportation and disposal costs.

Spill-Sorb that is used will not leech or discharge used pollutants, making it clean and easy to handle.

Spill-Sorb that is used can be incinerated or disposed of in landfills or land farmed with no detrimental effects to the environment.

Spill-Sorb as an energy source, contributes 8,000 B.T.U.s per pound, excluding absorbed hydrocarbons, and burns to a residue of less than 2% of it’s original volume.

Spill-Sorb is available in compressed and loose-filled bags, in booms, socks, cushions and pads, in various combinations of spill kits, and in customized filtration and bioremediation treatment packages.

The remediation of oil damage on land

Spill-Sorb is spread over the affected area as quickly and evenly as possible to a sufficient depth to allow for immediate absorption.

After use the absorbent/spill mix should be swept up and containerized for removal; either to be incinerated, land filled or land farmed


The remediation of oil damage on standing water

Spill-Sorb should be scattered across the surface of the water to a sufficient depth so as to ensure that full absorption will take place. Typically absorption times will increase by 15% over land use applications. After use the absorbent will have a tendency to form a mat windborne to the downside of the water surface, from where it can be recovered.

Disposal

Spill-Sorb will burn to a residue of less than 2% of its original volume. Spill-Sorb can also be land filled or land farmed into a usable compost. Spill-Sorb may be the only oil absorbent containing humic acid which aids in the biodegradation of hydrocarbons through microbial activity. As a result of its natural capillary capacity Spill-Sorb on contact absorbs hydrocarbons or other pollutants such as PCBs very quickly and encapsulates the pollutants indefinitely. Used Spill-Sorb will not leech or discharge used pollutants, making it clean and easy to handle, and has passed the Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedures (TCLP) test with oil.

If conditions do not permit burning (yes, you can often burn the encapsulated spill right on the water), Spill-Sorb can easily be collected from the water surface by scoops or nets. Spill-Sorb can be swept up, shoveled or vacuumed after it has been used.

The World is benefiting from interest in pollution, now, at a time when it is possible for our comparatively young industries to improve operations and reverse the trend of polluting our environment.

This can be done at a reasonable cost, and without jeopardizing the financial stability or the health of our present and future generations.

Industrial wastes, untreated effluent from textile dye houses, metal plating, or battery manufacturing plants are high in colourants and heavy metal pollutants. Although colourants are generally biodegradable, special treatments are necessary to restore significant amounts of oxygen that are used up. Nature can also eliminate the heavy metals that are dumped into the environment during manufacturing processes, but it takes a long time for these to break down, and even the traces that are left can be highly toxic.
Chemicals treating chemicals is not the answer! They are costly, dangerous to handle, both before and after the treatment process, and are very difficult to safely dispose of.

Tests show that after just two passes of effluent through a mat of peat and water, the concentration of common transition metals was lowered to well below acceptable environmental limits for these toxic substances. Even though this peat would now be considered “polluted” it is completely safe to handle or store, and disposal presents no problem.

Spill-Sorb can be used as a cleansing agent. It can absorb 8–12 times its own weight and is able to remove or neutralize 95% to 100% of contaminants present in water without any specialized training, and won’t complicate the problem further by being hazardous to handle or difficult to dispose of.

Its unique cellular structure allows Spill-Sorb to absorb dyes and other colour compounds. Because of its chemical composition, Spill-Sorb can stabilize or neutralize these elements. With its ability to absorb through its porous exterior it can encapsulate, surround, and lock liquids and soluble solids into its gelatinous interior; thus virtually eliminating any chance of leaching when disposed of in landfill sites.

Accepted current processes of purifying water using Spill-Sorb as the filter satisfies the stringent pollution control requirements of many well known governmental agencies including the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The federal government of Canada and affected provincial governments have also approved landfill as an acceptable disposal method for used peat.

This spent peat can also be burnt without any danger to the atmosphere. Companies doing research into water filtration using peat have found that the spent peat can continue to be used for horticultural purposes with excellent results. There is no danger of anything leaching out of the peat and contaminating ground waters.

Costs involved would depend on the degree of pollution, daily capacity, and other factors unique to each individual situation. The cost of Spill-Sorb as a natural resource is minimal. The technology is priced much lower than filtration processes now in place. Spill-Sorb has secured raw peat resources available for all current and anticipated uses to carry this company and its customers for well over a hundred years

For small communities, resorts, and campgrounds, an opportunity to save thousands of dollars in installation and updating of sewage treatment facilities now exists.

By utilizing research done by the Department of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation in conjunction with the Soil Science Department of the University of Minnesota,

the United States Forest Service has turned to a peat-over-sand filtration process to eliminate some of the sewage treatment problems at various sites throughout the U.S.

The filter consists of an area of ground varying from 70–90 feet in diameter with a 24–30 inch sand base covered with 8–12 inches of peat.

Each filtering system is equipped with irrigation sprinklers to spray effluents over the filtering medium.

Federal standards are met with 99+% of phosphates being removed and almost 100% of biochemical oxygen demand (B.O.D.) and coliform bacteria being removed.

Nitrogen removed meets or exceeds all guidelines, with the potential of greater nitrogen removal when the peat is implanted with natural gasses.

In relation to present waste treatment methods, the peat-over-sand filtering method, using Spill-Sorb, has very low installation, operation and maintenance costs. With over 500 years of known peat resource in existence, any future need to modify, or adapt to other methods of filtration are almost non-existent. Spill-Sorb has a guaranteed peat supply for all current and anticipated needs for well over 100 years.

With the size of facility needed for small communities, resorts, campgrounds or rural uses, it will be 15–20 years before the peat would have to be replaced. Even then the peat has not been destroyed, only enriched with nutrients, making it an excellent soil conditioner. This system is entirely natural. It does not use any costly, or potentially dangerous chemicals that in themselves cause pollution problems. Everything is recyclable. Spill-Sorb is 100% natural. There are no processing additives.

Experiments with various peat types and different sands have shown that this type of system works well under carefully controlled conditions using automatic overhead sprinklers. Evaluations are being made to research findings to enable this type of filtration process to be applied to larger scale city disposal systems covering several acres. The potential for using Spill-Sorb for sewage treatment is tremendous.

The 1989 grounding of the Exxon Valdez resulted in the release of 35,000 Tons of Toxic petroleum into an environmentally sensitive region in Alaska. Missteps that caused and then followed the spill outraged much of the American public against Exxon in particular and against environmental pollution in general. The story stayed alive in 1990 as the beaches near the oil spill were still polluted and various legal battles continued in the spring.

On February 4, 1970, the oil tanker Arrow struck Cerberus rock in Chedabucto Bay, Nova Scotia. 16,000 tons of Bunker C oil started flowing in the Bay. Tests were conducted to assess the potential of peat as an absorbent. Peat was first spread on a patch of oil of approximately 20 square feet which was slowly drifting to the shore. Using a ¼" wire mesh screen, two persons brought the slick to the shore by dragging it with the screen positioned vertically in the water.

On April 22, 1970, the sinking of the ferry Patrick Morris resulted in polluting beaches near Glace Bay, Nova Scotia with Bunker C oil. The beach was covered with numerous lumps of Bunker C approximately one square inch in size. Peat was spread on the beach, mixed with the Bunker C and picked up with rakes. The operation resulted in the removal of 95% of the oil.

In November 1970, a private company used peat to absorb crude oil on the shorelines of the St. Lawrence River. The spill was 1,500 feet by 200 feet and twenty men worked during three days at low tide. They spread peat at a rate of 4 cubic feet per 100 square feet of beach, On rocky shorelines, the same technique removed about 90% of the oil.

Oil Tankers will soon be required to carry oil discharge-removal equipment under a new regulation. According to the Coast Guard, Tankers, off-shore tank barges and coastal tank barges will be required to carry containment and removal supplies for on-deck oil cargo spills under the proposed rule (33 CFR, Part l55) as mandated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.

The equipment and supplies required under 33 CFR, Part 15 include SORBENTS; NON-SPARKING HAND SCOOPS, SHOVELS, AND BUCKETS; CONTAINERS SUITABLE FOR HOLDING RECOVERED WASTES; EMULSIFIERS FOR DECK CLEANING; PROTECTIVE CLOTHING; AND NON-SPARKING PORTABLE PUMPS AND HOSES.

Parts 155.205 through 155.220 outline the on-deck cargo spill response equipment requirements for various types of vessels. Vessels under 400 feet in length require enough containment and removal equipment for at least 7 barrels of oil. Vessels over 400 feet in length require enough containment and removal equipment for at least 12 barrels of oil.

In addition, inland tank barges would require material for at least one barrel of oil during cargo transfers. Vessels carrying oil as a secondary cargo would require equipment for at least a half barrel of oil. All of the required equipment is designed for on-deck oil spills. At present, there are no requirements for vessels to carry materials for on-water releases, according to the Coast Guard.

While the Valdez captured the largest headlines, the worst problems of ocean pollution were elsewhere. In fact, although ship accidents and oil-well blowouts command the public’s main attention, most oil pollution in the ocean comes from municipal and industrial runoff, cleaning of ship’s bilges or tanks, and other routine event

In 1990, 749,000 metric tonnes, or about 20,000,000 bales of peat were sold by Canadian producers. This volume of peat harvested each year is small in comparison to the estimated 50 million (50,000,000) tonnes or more of peat that accumulate naturally each year in Canada. On a volume basis, there are an estimated three trillion (3,000,000,000,000) cubic metres of peat deposits in Canada.

“The need to protect natural resources and to ensure wise, sustainable us of the environment is greater today than perhaps at any point in our history. Like natural resource sectors, the harvesting of peat moss around the world has attracted the interest of concerned environmental groups in government and the public. “At present less than 16,000 hectares of Canada’s 111 million hectares of peatlands are being used for peat or peat moss harvesting. The majority of companies involved in this industry, through their association with CSPMA (Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Association), has articulated a policy for environmentally-sensitive peatland use and for site restoration or reclamation after use."

If a moisture content of 25% is assumed, the percentages of carbon, hydrogen, ash, and oxygen will be:

Carbon . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42.0%
Hydrogen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.9%
Ash . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.5%
Oxygen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23.1%

and these values when substituted in formula (2) will give:

Y = 0.42 x 14600 + (0.39 - 0.231 / 8) 62100 - (9 x 0.039 + 0.25) x 1120 or....

Y = 0.42 x 14600 + 621 - 673 = 6,080 B.T.U. as the effective calorific value of the wet peat.

The calorific value as determined from formula (1) will be:

A = 1 / 100 [100 ´ 9460 - 25 (9460 + 1120)] = 6815 B.T.U.

Here, 9,460 B.T.U. is the actual calorific value of the absolutely dry peat as determined in the bomb calorimeter.

EFFECT OF MOISTURE ON THE CALORIFIC VALUE OF PEAT

The presence of moisture in peat fuel lowers its effective heating value since a portion of the heat of combustion is utilized in evaporating the contained moisture, and the heat of the steam formed passes off with the flue gases unused. It is highly desirable, therefore, that the moisture content, except for certain purposes, be kept as low as possible when consistent with economy. The following tables show the effect which the quantity of moisture present in the fuel has upon its calorific value. The column showing the quantity of heat required to evaporate the moisture is calculated: first, assuming that the heat required is only that which overcomes the latent heat of the water, or 970.4 B.T.U. per pound; second, the calculation assumes conditions that prevail in a gas producer or steam boiler in which it is assumed that the water enters at the temperature of the charged peat – about 60°F – and leaves at the temperature of the hot gases-about 600°F. Under these latter conditions, the total heat required to evaporate the water and then superheat it to 600°F will be, per pound, as follows:

To raise the temperature of the water from 60° to 212°F, 212–60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .152.0 B.T.U.
