The Tracerline 8oz Fluoro-Lite 5 R-1234yf/PAG Dye (TP-3825-0008) is a high-quality, OEM-grade fluorescent dye designed for professional leak detection in R-1234yf vehicle air conditioning systems. This 8 oz (237 ml) bottle of Fluoro-Lite 5 dye is specifically formulated for compatibility with systems using PAG (polyalkylene glycol) lubricant. The dye is co-solvent-free and engineered to meet or exceed SAE J2297 standards, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into the A/C system without altering lubricant viscosity or other critical system properties. When added to the system, the dye circulates with the refrigerant and lubricant. If a leak is present, the dye exits the system at the leak point and leaves a vivid yellow-green fluorescent mark. Technicians can then use a UV or blue light inspection lamp to easily spot the fluorescent glow, accurately identifying the leak’s source for timely repair. This product is a reliable solution for automotive repair shops and technicians who need a dependable and efficient method for diagnosing leaks in modern A/C systems.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- OEM-Grade Performance: This dye is formulated to meet the exacting standards of automotive manufacturers, making it a reliable choice for professional use. It is a factory-installed component in many new vehicles.
- Optimal R-1234yf/PAG Compatibility: The dye is specifically engineered for use with R-1234yf refrigerant and PAG lubricants, ensuring it will not harm or contaminate the A/C system components. It is a co-solvent-free formula.
- High-Visibility Leak Detection: When a leak occurs, the dye leaves a brilliant yellow-green fluorescent mark that is highly visible under a UV or blue light inspection lamp, allowing for quick and accurate leak diagnosis.
- Economic and Efficient: A single 8 oz bottle can service up to 32 vehicles, providing a cost-effective solution for busy automotive shops. The high-capacity bottle reduces the need for frequent reordering.
- Meets Industry Standards: The dye is certified to meet or exceed SAE J2297, confirming its quality and effectiveness as a refrigerant leak detection additive.

HOW TO USE:
- Connect a Tracerline dye injector to the A/C system’s low-side service port.
- Open the valve on the injector to allow the dye to flow into the system. The dye must be added to a system that is properly charged with refrigerant.
- Operate the A/C system for a short period to allow the dye to circulate throughout the system with the refrigerant and lubricant.
- Using a UV or blue light leak detection lamp, inspect all A/C system components, including hoses, fittings, the compressor, and the condenser.
- Leaks will be revealed by a brilliant yellow-green fluorescent glow at the leak point, indicating where the refrigerant is escaping.
- Once the leak is found, repair the component and evacuate and recharge the system as per the manufacturer’s specifications.
