A clear paraffin oil that burns cleanly in an oil lamp, and it'll also float a thin film across the top of a rainwater tank so the mozzies can't breed in it.
Diggers describe it as candle wax in liquid form. It's a colourless hydrocarbon with next to no smell, and it's handy for oiling a sewing machine or a sticky hinge too. On a water tank the dose is 20ml for every square metre of water surface, and the film needs to sit above the outlet so it isn't drawn into the line. For a machine, follow the maker's oiling instructions.
It's combustible, so keep it away from heat and flame, and wear gloves and eye protection when you're pouring it. Full specs are in the tabs below, and if you want a hand working out how much your tank needs, call us on (08) 8536 4333 or come in and chat with us at 34-52 Milnes Rd, Strathalbyn.
