FEATURES:
- easy, fast and inexpensive way of detecting combustion leaks in cars and motorbikes.
- start the engine, connect the tester to the cooling system and wait up to 5 minutes for the result.
- works best with PETROL/LPG engines (for DIESEL ENGINES the RED fluid performs better)
- compatible with radiators and expansion tanks
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When combustion leak is present, a small volume of combustion gases goes into the cooling system which can be easily detected by this simple device. In the presence of these gases, the test fluid will change colour to yellow.
TEST RESULT:
If the test fluid turns:
- YELLOW, the combustion leak is present.
- STAYS BLUE, combustion leak IS NOT PRESENT during the test
- GREEN , combustion leak could be present but also could be caused by contamination with coolant
NOTE: DIESEL ENGINES
The blue fluid is not suitable for DIESEL engines as it changes colour to GREEN, making it more confusing with the interpretation of the test result. The red liquid should be used instead.
HOW TO PERFORM THE TEST:
(Before each use, flush the tester with fresh fluid )
1. Unscrew the coolant cap to release the pressure but leave it on. To avoid splashes and burns during the task, make sure the engine is cold!
2. Start the engine and leave it on for a few minutes to warm it up. (the coolant must be warm and circulating)
3. Fill the tester with supplied test fluid (2ml per test)
4. Insert the tester into the radiator's or expansion's tank inlet and observe bubbles in the chambers. You can increase the number of bubbles by accelerating the engine. Be aware that the tester is without a filter; accelerating could induce coolant droplets or fog into the device and falsify the test result. In this case, the test fluid will stay blue.
5. Don't perform the test for longer than 5 minutes. Heat is harmful to test fluid and can change the colour to green.
NOTE: Dispose of the used test fluid (even if not changed the colour), never mix it with a fresh one as it could affect the sensitivity of the whole batch.
