The Kolor Kut Water Finding Paste (Kkm3) is designed for professionals and enthusiasts who need to detect the presence of miscible water in bio-ethanol/gasoline blends and other oxygenated fuels. Its key benefit is providing a clear visual color change from dark brown to red when water is present, offering a quick and easy method for fuel quality assessment. A caveat to note is that this paste is specifically formulated for oxygenated fuels and is not intended for detecting free water in crude oil or standard gasolines.

This paste is specifically designed for bio-ethanol blends and other oxygenated fuels like MTBE and Ether. It is not intended for standard gasolines or crude oil.
The dark brown paste turns brilliant red when it detects miscible water in the fuel. A yellow color may indicate water content around 6% or less.
No, the paste is for single use only. For subsequent tests, you must clean your testing tool and apply a fresh layer of paste.
A yellow color typically indicates the presence of water at around 6% or less in the fuel blend. Higher concentrations will turn the paste red.
It can indicate the presence of water in solutions with as little as 6% water, with color changes becoming more pronounced at higher concentrations.
If the results are unclear or you require a definitive answer, it is best practice to draw a sample of the fuel and send it for laboratory testing.
This is a genuine Kolor Kut product, Made in the U.S.A.
Store the tube in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed to prevent the paste from drying out. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Ensure the fuel being tested is an oxygenated blend compatible with this paste. Verify the paste is within its expiration date and has been stored properly. Clean the testing surface thoroughly before applying fresh paste.
This may indicate a low water content (around 6% or less). For more definitive results or higher concentrations, a fresh application on a clean surface might be necessary. Consider drawing a sample for laboratory testing if precision is critical.
The paste may have been exposed to air for too long or stored improperly. Ensure the cap is always tightly sealed. If significantly dried out, it may no longer be effective and should be replaced.
Ensure the dip stick/rod is completely clean before each application of fresh paste. Test from different depths of the fuel sample if possible, or draw a representative sample for a more thorough analysis.
