Water Finding Paste
Having problems with your Oil Tank? A common cause of many problems is water in your Oil Tank. Water is heavier than oil and so sinks to the bottom of your tank. It is advisable to check your tank regularly.
The Kolor Kut Water Finding Paste is a useful tool to detect the presence of water in your oil tank. Apply it to a stick or a clean rod, and lower it to the bottom of the oil tank. The brown paste will turn red when in contact with water, indicating the depth of the water in the oil tank.
