Tracerline 6pc 1oz LeakFinder Universal A/C Dye (LF1001)
The Tracerline 6pc 1oz LeakFinder Universal A/C Dye (LF1001) is an essential tool for accurately identifying refrigerant and lubricant leaks in all automotive air conditioning systems. This highly effective fluorescent dye is designed to circulate within the A/C system, escaping with the host fluid at any leak point and glowing brightly under ultraviolet light. Each 1-ounce bottle offers generous coverage, making this 6-pack an economical and reliable choice for both professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts. Its universal compatibility ensures it works seamlessly with a wide range of refrigerants, including R-134a and R-1234yf, as well as various A/C system lubricants. Discover precise leak locations with this easy-to-use and efficient solution, ensuring your vehicle's A/C system operates optimally.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Universal Compatibility: Designed for use with all automotive A/C systems, including those in EV/Hybrid vehicles, and compatible with various refrigerants like R-134a and R-1234yf, as well as A/C system lubricants.
High Visibility Fluorescent Green: The dye glows a vivid green under any UV leak detection lamp (blue, violet, or ultraviolet), making even the smallest or most elusive leaks easy to spot.
Precise Leak Identification: Accurately pinpoints the exact source of refrigerant and lubricant leaks, saving time and preventing costly guesswork in A/C system repairs.
Economical 6-Pack: Comes with six 1-ounce (30 ml) bottles, with each bottle servicing up to 4 vehicles, providing a cost-effective solution for multiple applications.
Made in the U.S.A. & SAE J2297 Compliant: Manufactured to high-quality standards in the United States and meets the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2297 standard for refrigerant leak detection.

Add Dye to A/C System: Inject the appropriate amount of LeakFinder Universal A/C Dye into the vehicle's A/C system. For most systems, one 1 oz bottle is sufficient. Follow the instructions on the vehicle's service manual or the dye injector's guide for the specific injection port.
Run A/C System: Start the vehicle and operate the A/C system for at least 10-15 minutes. This allows the dye to fully circulate with the refrigerant and lubricant throughout the entire system.
Scan with UV Lamp: Turn off the vehicle's engine. Using a UV leak detection lamp (blue, violet, or ultraviolet), carefully scan all A/C components, hoses, fittings, and connections. Pay close attention to areas where leaks commonly occur, such as compressor seals, condenser fins, evaporator drains, and service ports.
Identify Leaks: Any area where refrigerant or lubricant is escaping will show a bright, glowing green fluorescent indication under the UV light, pinpointing the exact leak location.
Repair and Verify: Once the leak is found, repair the compromised component. After the repair, run the A/C system again and rescan the repaired area with the UV lamp to confirm the leak has been sealed.
