Fluorescent Dye Tracer

TOC

NOTE: This test is not effective on a cold engine, less than 21°C [70°F] coolant temperature, or with a loose overhead setting.

Install an isolated fuel supply tank to the inlet and drain lines. Add fluorescent tracer, Part Number 3376891, to the fuel supply tank.

Use black light, Part Numbers 3377253 or 3377394, to find fuel leaks from inside or around the injector. Refer to the OEM service manual.

NOTE: Injectors normally have a small amount of fuel leakage.
