LeakFinder’s LF2008 dye is engineered for professional and DIY use to help technicians accurately locate leaks in oil-based systems. When circulated through the system and viewed under UV or blue light, even small leak sites will glow distinctly, simplifying diagnostics.
Q: Which systems can I use LF2008 with?
A: You can use the LF2008 dye in oil, fuel, ATF, and power steering systems. It is formulated to be compatible with these oil-based fluids.
Q: How do I apply it to locate a leak?
A: Add the dye (per instructions) into the system’s fluid reservoir, run the system to circulate the dye, then scan around potential leak areas using a suitable UV, blue, or violet light. The dye will fluoresce at any leak point.
Q: Does the dye need to be flushed out afterward?
A: No. The dye is designed to remain in the system safely, allowing you to re-inspect or verify repairs later without needing to remove it.
