Florescent Leak Detection Method

TOOLS REQUIRED
^ J 41447 Fluorescent Tracer Dye
^ J 41436 Tracer Dye Injector
^ J 28428-E High Intensity Black Light

NOTE: The tracer dye J 41447 was developed for use with the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a) equipped vehicles or with vehicles that have been retrofitted from R-12 to R-134a. Do not use any other tracer dye in the R-134a system. Use of another dye may affect the system reliability and cause premature compressor failure. Use only a 1/4 oz. charge of the dye. Larger amounts may compromise the reliability C the A/C system. After adding the tracer dye, clean the service valves and all affected surfaces of the dye with GM Engine Degreaser GM P/N 1050436 or an equivalent in order to prevent a false diagnosis.
