Fluorescent Leak Detection Dye For Coolant Systems

and Auto Body Leak Inspection

• Dye-Lite

fluorescent leak detection dye is used in conjunction

with Tracerline

ultraviolet or UV/blue light lamps to pinpoint leak

sources in cooling systems and auto body leak inspection.

• You must wear fluorescence-enhancing glasses to protect your

eyes and to make leaks clearly visible. The glow will show best

under low light conditions.

• Diluted dye cleans off with water and will not stain the interior or

exterior surfaces of the vehicle. Wipe all concentrated or undiluted

dye spills promptly. Concentrated dye may stain hands and clothing.

COOLANT SYSTEM

1. Turn OFF the engine. Make sure the engine is cold before removing

the radiator cap to add dye. Use 1 oz (30 ml) of dye for every vehicle.

2. Run the engine and vehicle heater until they reach full operating

temperatures so the dye circulates. Smaller leaks may require longer

run time.

3. Turn OFF the engine. Scan the system with a Tracerline

lamp. In hard

to reach areas, use a mirror to reflect the light. As an alternative, wipe

suspect areas with a clean cloth and check the cloth with the lamp for

traces of the fluorescent dye. All leaks will show with a bright green

fluorescent glow. A small amount of dye may be added to increase the

glow. Additional dye will not harm the system.

4. After the leaks are repaired, clean the dye residue from the leak sites

with Tracer Products’ GLO-AWAY™ dye cleaner/remover or a general-

purpose shop cleaner. Reinspect with the lamp to see that no dye

remains. Run the engine for another 5 to 10 minutes and reinspect

again.

5. It is not necessary to change the coolant after adding the tracer dye.

When used properly, Dye-Lite

can remain safely in the system until the

coolant is changed.

AUTO BODY LEAK INSPECTION

1. Mix the dye in water in the proper dilution and spray the dye/water

solution on the outside of the vehicle where a leak is suspected.

2. Scan the inside of the vehicle with the lamp while wearing the glasses

to see any leak-through.

3. Wipe all areas with clean water.

Ratio of Dye to Water

1 oz (30 ml) to 6 gal (23 l)

CAUTION

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool place away from

direct sunlight, heat sources and open flame. May be harmful

or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. Wash

thoroughly after handling. Wipe all spills to avoid stains.
