State of California AIR RESOURCES BOARD September 28, 1979 Staff Report Evaluation of the "Oil—Master" 011 Refiner Device in Accordance with Section 2222, Title 13 of the California Administrative Code. Introduction 0i1 Master Limited, 2950 Afrway, Costa Mesa, California 92626 has submitted an application requesting an update of the exemption of their "Oil Master" also known as the "Phoenix" oil refining system from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code. The system is designed to fit all 1979 and older model four cycle internal combustion engines. The device was previously exempted by Air Resources Board Resolution 72—26 dated March 15, 1972. II. System Description The device consists of a metal container divided into two chambers by a perforated metal partition. The lower chamber is packed with a filter material. The upper chamber houses an electrical heating ele— ment. The engine oi} pressure pump drives the oil through the filter— ing material in éhe bottom chamber and into the upper chamber where it is heated. The hydrocarbon and water vapor released from the heated oil is routed through a tube into the air cleaner. The heated oil is returned by gravity into the crankcase.

III. System Function and Evaluation The function of the'system is to remove impurities through the filtering process and any gasoline and moisture vapors by the heating process.> The gasoline vapors are fed to the air cleaner and, therefore, are not released into the atmosphere. The amount of gasoline vapors should have no significant effect on the air— fuel ratio since most of the crankcase hydrocarbons are taken care of by the PCV system. IV. Advertising Claims The advertising material submitted does not contain any claims concerning air polliution control or fuel economy. Conclusion The staff has made an engineering evaluation of the device and is of the opionion that it should not interfere with the operation of any existing emission control systems. VI. Recommendation The staff recommends that Oil Master Limited be granted an update for its exemption of its "Oil Master" (also known as "Phoenix") oil refining device from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for 1979 and older 4—cycle internal combustion engines.
