GENUINE Kolor Kut Water Finding Paste is used for testing for the presence of water at the bottom of fuel storage tanks. Suitable only for use with Petrol, Diesel, Kerosene, Gas Oil, Heating Oil, Heavy Oil, and Lubricating Oil.
\nApplied to a rod\/ length of string with bottom weight, the brown paste changes colour to brilliant red where it comes into contact with water, giving you a visual indication as to the depth of the water present. The water can then be pumped out, and the test repeated until there is insufficient water to pump, at which point one of our Water-Seekers or Oilybits Water Absorbing Polymer can be used to absorb the last of it.<\/p>\n
To remove the bulk of the water we would first recommend pumping the water out with a simple self-priming waste oil\/water pump, such as our Drill Powered, Flexible Impellor Pumps, or Mains Powered Flexible Impeller Pumps, and a length of Hose before using the absorbtion media as described above<\/p>\n
In both the Energy Institute\u2019s HM-28 page 26 5.1.9.1 and the IFIA Bulletin, both recommend that \u2018two\u2019 different water finding pastes are \u2018initially\u2019 used, so you may wish to select another water finding paste to use in conjunction with this paste.<\/p>\n
