• Cummins subsidiary. Fleetguard is marketing a new coolant additive suitable for all makes of diesel engine.
Complete is said to be an extension of the Cummins DCA system; it provides protection against corrosion, including cavitation, which is what happens when little bubbles form on the outside of a wet liner and implode, removing a small amount of material. This can lead to the liners becoming porous and water pump impeller blade erosion, It was one reason why Cummins introduced DCA.
When mixed in equal parts with water. Complete is said to prevent corrosion of all metals in the engine and provide low temperature protection down to —35°C. However, the company says that the product will mix with antifreeze and should he replaced every two years.
Checking the concentration of Complete in the coolant is handled with a kit of chemicals in a similar way to DCA. Extra inhibitor can be added to the header tank.
The cost is said to be higher than antifreeze; it is only available in 205 litre drums.
