The Douty seal is basically an O-ring around the pig; it helps create a flexible seal within the pipeline around the Pig Barrel. It has to be a flexible seal to allow for slight imperfections in the pipe diameter, otherwise the Pig could become permanently lodged in an area with a slight imperfection in the pipe diameter.
How did I do?Can anyone explain about douty seals used in oil and gas pipe line pig barrels?
very high maint.., this guy knows his pigs....Can anyone explain about douty seals used in oil and gas pipe line pig barrels?
I don't recognize the term ';douty seals'; or ';pig barrels'; for that matter.
However you may be referring to the practice of passing a ';pig'; through a pipe or a pipeline to flush the contents through to one end at the completion of a process cycle to recover material left in the line that would otherwise be wasted. The term ';pig'; refers to a projectile that is sized to closely approximate the inside diameter of the pipe. It is launched by a blast of compressed air or other similar means. The line is then cleaned by flushing it with a cleaning agent in preparation for another process cycle.
In pipelines it may be used in a similar way to clean the lines of small amounts of material adhering to the pipe walls that pose a risk of plugging over time if left untended. The pig would be introduced to the pipeline while it continued in service and captured downstream for re-use.
Hope that helps.

Motorbike oil seals leaking for NO REASON!?
My motorbike passed an MOT last year, and then has sat in the garage all year having done only 10 miles. When I went to take it out for a new MOT, I found the front fork seals are badly leaking, which obviously weren't last year or they wouldn't have passed the test. My question: is it normal for oil seals to deteriorate without any use? Both seals are leaking just as badly. I had assumed the oil had just crept out slowly over the year (they are upside-down forks on a sports bike) but when I actually rode it, after a few miles I could see the amount of oil was quite great. Is this normal deterioration?Motorbike oil seals leaking for NO REASON!?
Seals can dry out without regular use. The petroleum inside help keep them moist.

It's not unusual for them to deteriorate from non-use.

My transmission is leaking oil and I don't think it's the front pump seal?
I have a Siverado with a 4L60E transmission. The guy brought my truck to said that it is the front pump seal but I don't think that it is because of where the front pump seal is. The front pump seal is at the torque converter, correct? Well, I'm leaking transmission fluid where the harness plugs in (passenger side). In fact, there is barely any fluid getting onto the ground because all of the fluid is trapped on top of the transmission. If I wouldn't have had to change the engine harness I wouldn't even know that it is leaking.My transmission is leaking oil and I don't think it's the front pump seal?
TAILSHAFT SEALMy transmission is leaking oil and I don't think it's the front pump seal?
Then change the harness O ring in the transmission if that is indeed the location of the fluid drip. Sounds like it from your description.
If the front seal is bad, you will get a drip out of the bottom (inspection cover) or the bell housing through the little hole.
Change the filter, pan gasket and fluid while you are at it UNLESS you have very high miles on it.
If i understand u right about where it leaking the it sound to me like the T line fittings on pass side if you dont have fluid inside bell housing then its not pump seal. If it is leaking from other than where i think em me more info about where its at kmp1171@att.net

Replace the valve stem oil seals?
My 1994 Isuzu Trooper has blue smoke when it is cranked after sitting for several hours and the engine is cold. It doesn't smoke on startup when the engine is warm. There is much more smoke the longer it has sat such as over night or for a day or two. I was wondering if it could possibly be the valve stem oil seals. The engine uses very little oil (maybe half a quart every 2000 miles) and has 190,000 miles on it. It runs good other than the startup smoking problem. I was thinking that as long as the engine is warm then maybe the seals expand and seal better and when the engine cools they contract and oil gets to the cylinder at startup. Does this sound like a possible cause? I have a shop manual for this car and it looks like a pretty straight forward fix although I would probably have mechanic do the work. The book I have only explains the fix and not the symptoms of bad seals. Does my engine have the symptoms? It's a 3.2 liter V6 with dual overhead cams.Replace the valve stem oil seals?
Hey Blazer I Normaly dont give out trade secrets that took a combination of 33yr master auto tech,repair shop owner,but im going to let you in on one.
all the previous awnsers are good sound advice,but i think you may have a combination of problems,probably worn seals,and some wear on the int. valve guides...... BUT there may be a cheap solution to your problem ,which could solve 80% of your problem,here it is
On dual overhead cam engines,well all engines ,over time ,high mileage the oil return holes in head become plugged,remove valve covers and verify,if you use penz,or quaker state a pariffin base oil you will Know this is the prob.
Take a shop vac and a wire and unplug oil return holes ,should be 2 on each head,being careful not to let debri fall to pan ,do NOT disturb any more than nessary reinstall valve covers ,you can do this your self, if this cheap fix dosent work, than follow prev. advice Post IF THIS SOLVES your prob.Replace the valve stem oil seals?
You have really just answered your own ?.Its called wear and tear items.In your owners manual it should give you a scheduled maintenance for your ride or go to your local Isuzu dealership and will steer you in right direction.They will let you know what needs to be changed and replaced with a SUV with high miles.Sometimes its probably better and cheaper at a local Joe garage.Also keep in mind who is certified and not.
With 200,000 miles, any money spent on this eng other than a total rebuild is wasted. Drive it until it wont pass smog check any longer and then rebuild the eng or trade it in.
Sounds like the right cause.
The ohc engines are more difficult to change out the seals normally but it sounds like the reason for the smoke on start-up.

Im workin on 1996 dodge ram 4x4 and im changin the front oil seals on the axle and i got it all tore apart and
i just have to get the oil seals out and back in and i dont no if i have to go from the out side of the axle useing a slide hammer or if i have to take the ring gear out and go from the inside of the houseingIm workin on 1996 dodge ram 4x4 and im changin the front oil seals on the axle and i got it all tore apart and
I have done these before. ok you have to take the ring gear out so you can drive both side seals in from the out side. You will need a long punch or bar to get the passanger side seal out. to put them in the drivers side you can just tap in but the passanger side you need a specal tool to push the seal in. I dont know if you can rent one from a auto parts store. You have to use that tool there is no other way to do it, I have my own. seal replacment is a pain on those trucks.

take it to the nearest garage and ask the attendant to check your oil. If that doesn't work give the local Renault dealers a bell, they should be pleased to oblige

Is it true that you shouldn't put synthetic oil in older cars because the seals in the engine can't handle it?
I have heard you shouldn't put synthetic in older engines because it will hurt the seals, the seals can't handle the thinner oil, and you will develop leaks.
IS this true?Is it true that you shouldn't put synthetic oil in older cars because the seals in the engine can't handle it?
No it's not true.. It's BS, a myth, an old wives tell.
Syn. oil vs. std. oil of the same weight is the same thickness.. A 10W30 in syn, is the same thickness as a 10W30 in reg. oil.
Syn. oil will not hurt seals, or cause leaks.
If fact it's the other way around.. A reg oil will break down and thin out with heat.. Syn oil will not.. It takes a much higher temp to break the syn oil down.Is it true that you shouldn't put synthetic oil in older cars because the seals in the engine can't handle it?
I agree, it is an old wives tale. Another myth is that you cannot mix syn. and conventional oils. If that were true we wouldn't have Durablend or Syntec Blends. Report Abuse
a toyota w/ 58000 miles is barely broken in- do it, man ! youll get 2,000,000,000,000 more miles out of it
well,I am running with synthetic with no problems,at 180,000 clicks.My oil pressure is lower due to the thinner oil,but seems to be ok otherwise
Oh, Synthetic oil is ';thinner';? What crap!!
Syn oil comes in a variety of viscosities, from 5 through 40 (at least).
Consult your operators manual and see if it is OK to use it. My guess is that it is OK%26lt; but check first.
yes running syn. oil is great but if you have a small oil leak it will make the oil leaks bigger because of the lube property's of the oil. it wont hurt the seals they just leak more. i use the oil in my car.it has over 145000 miles . you just need to keep on top of the oil leaks.
the car is already broken in to run an the thicker oil. The synthetic is too thin. you just burn it out the tail pipe.

What has a mild taste for sealing in ';juices'; in chicken: batter, olive, canola, or peanut oil?
we skin our own chickens and need a ';paste'; to seal the juices in and we want a sealant that is mild so we can sprinkle spices or put a marinate on it without tasting the sealant. what is the most mild: batter, olive, canola, or peanut oil.What has a mild taste for sealing in ';juices'; in chicken: batter, olive, canola, or peanut oil?
the best way too seal in ur juices is to put ur chicken in a brine which is basically you soak it in a mixture of salt and water with additional flavorings optional.
it ensures its moist and seals it in.
i am not sure of the exact ratios of salt and water but u can always google itWhat has a mild taste for sealing in ';juices'; in chicken: batter, olive, canola, or peanut oil?
High heat and very little oil will give you no flavor and sealed in juices. When the skin Or outside of the chicken is seered the juices remain in the meat. Of the things you listed ,peanut oil has the highest tempeture rating(smoke point). The hotter the pan the faster the seer ,the mor juicy the meat.
I've heard over and over to use peanut oil when cooking chicken. So, I do. It always tastes better. Maybe it's in my head??
Dry your chicken to remove any excess moisture before dredging it in flour seasoned with the spices/seasonings of your choice. Then you can cook it in clarified butter or any type of oil. No paste or batter is necessary.
In India we marinate with yogurt. I am not sure if this would freeze well.

Mechanic help. Oil in throttle body... fried rings or gasket seal?
I have a 2001 saturn 1.9 DOHC i recently noticed that it is going through much more oil than it should (there is no leak) also it was idleing really high so i decided to clean out the throtle body to see if it would fix the idle problem and it did. Anyways when i cleaned it it had oil in it!!! so my question is Could my rings be fried (there is no smoke or burning oil smell) or could i just have a gasket seal that needs replace or posibly my valve stem gaskets??? i know a little about cars just not enough to figure this out alone please helpMechanic help. Oil in throttle body... fried rings or gasket seal?
sounds like a lot of blowby in the engine bad rings but first check the pcv valve to make sure it is good if not replace it. but these engines are bad about having a lot of blowbyMechanic help. Oil in throttle body... fried rings or gasket seal?
probably rings are worn, run a thicker oil like 20/50 or some viscosity thickener like STP oil treatment.
The best bet is to do a compression check on your cylinders. That will tell you a lot of what your engine's problem is.

Took my 96 Accord in because of an oil leak. I was told that the cam seal and crank seal were leaking and?
would need to be replaced. I was also told that the timing belts might need to be replaced. When I went to pick up my car I was told that they did need to replace the timing belts. They saved the old belts like I asked and they look almost brand new. Anyway I pulled out my credit card and was told that the machine was down and they could only take cash. I assume this was so I could not put a stop payment on the card when I realized they messed up my car. I needed my car so I ended up coming back with cash the next day. I picked up the car and it was shaking, making noise, had a lot less power and it smelled like something was burning in the engine. I brought it back and the guy looked at it, checked the timing, drove it around the block and said he didn't notice anything wrong. He said to leave it and he would check it out more thoroughly. I picked it up a couple days later and it's still the same. So basically I'm out $450 and stuck with a crappy running car. What should I do??Took my 96 Accord in because of an oil leak.

Make sure you have documentation of all transactions with the first mechanic.
Go to another mechanic and get it checked. Have him write out the problem. If the problem is from the first mechanic, then go to other mechanic with the findings. If he refuses to fix it then sue him in small claims.Took my 96 Accord in because of an oil leak. I was told that the cam seal and crank seal were leaking and?
They have one of your timing belts one cog off.....your belts need to be serviced every 40k to 50k miles. most people dont do this, they wait for their belts to fail....Im not taking ';their side'; BUT he probably did you a favor by replacing them, he just made a mistake, probably doesnt want his boss to know. i would get a second and third opinion...
Go back and have the guy drive with you so you can point out what is wrong. If he refuses to fix anything else there's really not much you can do. Maybe ask your family or friends where a trustworthy and reliable auto shop is located. A lot of those places scam people out of a lot of money.

What seals in the ';juices'; of a skinned whole chicken better: oil pasted on the chicken or brine the chicken
we raise our own chickens and want to seal in those juices but we need to know the best way. most people would say brine the chicken. i called my butcher and he said to brine them for three days. what is the best solution for brineing the chickens we have about 65 birds. or would pasteing them with some type of oil work better. we grill out alot. we would be vaccum sealing and freezing the rest. we need something that seals the juices, great cooking, and will freeze well. any ideas?What seals in the ';juices'; of a skinned whole chicken better: oil pasted on the chicken or brine the chicken
First thing, when freezing anything ';space'; is the enemy, space meaning air, ';whole'; intact birds is to much air (freezer burn'; assumeing you're freezing them whole. Cut them in half, put them in a zip top bag and seal to the final corner and suck the air out, either with your mouth or a straw and close it up, a vac sealer works best. Don't brine or add anything, strange things happen when you brine and thaw. Brining even though it takes awhile, should be used for something you're cooking right away, the infusion of the brine is part of the science of molecules and moisture, freezing upsets that action.
(I disagree with your butchers call.)

Brining works better than oil.
I like this brine recipe, and it can be adapted to chicken. I'd cut back on the brining solution ingredients and water to suit the weight of the chicken(s) you have.
ROASTED BRINED TURKEY
1 (14 to 16 pound) frozen young turkey
For the brine:
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 gallon vegetable stock
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1/2 tablespoon allspice berries
1/2 tablespoon candied ginger
1 gallon iced water
For the aromatics:
1 red apple, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup water
4 sprigs rosemary
6 leaves sage
Canola oil
Combine all brine ingredients, except ice water, in a stockpot, and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve solids, then remove from heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Early on the day of cooking, (or late the night before) combine the brine and ice water in a clean 5-gallon bucket. Place thawed turkey breast side down in brine, cover, and refrigerate or set in cool area (like a basement) for 6 hours. Turn turkey over once, half way through brining.
A few minutes before roasting, heat oven to 500 degrees. Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Remove bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard brine.
Place bird on roasting rack inside wide, low pan and pat dry with paper towels. Add steeped aromatics to cavity along with rosemary and sage. Tuck back wings and coat whole bird liberally with canola (or other neutral) oil.
Roast on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cover breast with double layer of aluminum foil, insert probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and return to oven, reducing temperature to 350 degrees F. Set thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let turkey rest, loosely covered for 15 minutes before carving.
--Alton Brown, Food Network
Brining %26amp; marinating will help with having a tasty chicken, but means nothing is the bird is overcooked. the general rule of thumb is finished cooking temp is 165 for 10 seconds.
Searing will improve flavor as well, but the difference in lost juices is minimal.
When grilling, use tongs vs. a fork.
Remember what you feed your chickens will ultimatley determine its flavor as well.
I like to freeze my chicken in the marinade, then when it defrosts it's ready to grill and it helps eliminate freezer burn... You can make your own marinade, or use bottled italian dressing...

A few minutes before roasting, heat oven to 500 degrees. Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and cup of water in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Remove bird from brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard brine.
Place bird on roasting rack inside wide, low pan and pat dry with paper towels. Add steeped aromatics to cavity along with rosemary and sage. Tuck back wings and coat whole bird liberally with canola (or other neutral) oil.
Roast on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cover breast with double layer of aluminum foil, insert probe thermometer into thickest part of the breast and return to oven, reducing temperature to 350 degrees F. Set thermometer alarm (if available) to 161 degrees. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total of 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let turkey rest, loosely covered for 15 minutes before carving.

Brining %26amp; marinating will help with having a tasty chicken, but means nothing is the bird is overcooked. the general rule of thumb is finished cooking temp is 165 for 10 seconds.
Searing will improve flavor as well, but the difference in lost juices is minimal.
When grilling, use tongs vs. a fork.
Remember what you feed your chickens will ultimatley determine its flavor as well.
I like to freeze my chicken in the marinade, then when it defrosts it's ready to grill and it helps eliminate freezer burn... You can make your own marinade, or use bottled italian dressing...
Can I use an oil additive to stop my rear main seal leak?
I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with a 5.2 liter V8. It has 167,000 miles on it. My rear main seal is leaking a little. No oil had touched the drive way but you can see that oil is slowly but surely leaking out around the seal. I can either get it repaired this week or try Bars leak rear main seal repair. I dont mind going the cheap route but I dont want to end up with more problems than I already have. Will this formula really work to stop my leak?Can I use an oil additive to stop my rear main seal leak?
It may slow it down. The only true fix is to replace the seal.Can I use an oil additive to stop my rear main seal leak?
For awhile it might. These products often work by softening the seal allowing it to maintain better contact with the rear main bearing. At best this is a temporary fix.
No, It might help alittle but what other problems might it cause to .
I've used it in tens of motors without any problems later.It seems to be one of those myths that it doesn't work judging by the answers here.The last time someone asked that same question all the internet mechanics said that it hardens the seals later.A good product is called Main-Sta.It dried up all the seals in my 1993 Grand Cherokee 5.2L.That was 10 years ago and 100,000 miles later still no leaks.
no, it';s a waist of money,have it replaced .
Most ';stop leak'; products are meant as a temporary fix at best. They are designed to allow you to drive the vehicle for a short period of time until you can get it fixed properly. If you are financially able and willing to have the vehicle's leak repaired this week, I'd skip the additives and just have it fixed asap. Good luck!
Nope, They haven't figured out how to get a mechanic in the can yet. Do not add the stop leak, it will do more harm than good, it will soften the seal chemically and cause it to expand. It also degrades the seal material. It will only cause premature failure of the seal. Plus it will react on all the engine oil seals causing the valve guide seals , front crankshaft seal and others to start leaking prematurely.
If it's not dripping the seal is probably OK, There is an amount of ';normal'; weepage from any rotating shaft seal. If a shop is trying to sell you the rear main job, get another opinion. Maybe things were slow, Christmas is coming the guy needs the money, His kids need shoes. He's thinking he needs it more than you, you're thinking different.
Oil stop leak is a waste of money and if it's really leaking you will still be contaminating the ground as you drive. You'll have to get it done. Trans has to come out.

Sealing bottles containing olive oil/dipping oil?
What is the procedure for canning/sealing bottles that contain olive oil dipping oil for bread? I would like to give some as gifts, and I would also like to store it for future use (so I am not making it as often). Any suggestions?Sealing bottles containing olive oil/dipping oil?
Use wax to seal the bottles after you cork them.
You can buy parafin wax at the grocery store... just melt it and dip the end of the bottle into it then let dry.Sealing bottles containing olive oil/dipping oil?

Once bearings and seals are worn, it's best to replace them, I wouldn't advise a 2nd box unless your own box is beyond economical repair and your money would be best spent reconditioning something else.
