Water & Fuel-Tank Treatment for Transport & Logistics in Namibia

Count filters and callouts: microbial sludge from one untreated bulk tank spreads to every vehicle that fills there, and a fleet-wide filter-blocking episode costs more in one week — filters, roadside time, missed slots — than a year of Chemicide No 7 dosing. Namibian heat cycles guarantee condensation at the fuel-water interface where the growth lives, so treatment is climate-mandatory here in a way European fleet manuals never quite convey.

When temperature creeps under load despite correct coolant level and a sound thermostat — that is scale insulating the core, typical on vehicles topped up for years with hard borehole water. Circulate Magnus 614 per label, drain, flush until clear, refill correctly, and gauge temperatures drop visibly. On the heavy fleet, follow with CCW 5 in closed circuits so the built-in indicator can prove the inhibitor charge at every service.

Treat the equipment, not the borehole: periodic Dicafas descales of steam-cleaner coils, geysers and heaters, and Limex on the fittings and urns the scale reaches first. Softening a whole depot borehole rarely pays; targeted descaling of the few heat-exchange surfaces that matter almost always does. Send us your water hardness if known — dosing gets more precise with a number.

CCW 5, charged into every closed circuit after the Magnus 614 flush: its corrosion inhibitor films the mixed metals of engine jackets and radiators, and the built-in indicator colours the coolant so the daily walk-around can verify protection at a glance. On a fleet, that visual check is the difference between a programme and a hope — fading colour means top up, strong colour means move on to the next vehicle.
