Add the correct amount of fluorescent tracer additive to the system reservoir. Operate the System in order to assure thorough mixing throughout -- the size and type of system will determine the mixing time required. Inspect system (exterior surfaces) with a blacklight for the distinctive fluorescent flow. This will indicate the leak source

Industrial Oil and Hydraulic Dye. Take the guesswork out of Leak Diagnosis. Industrial Oil or Hydraulic Dyes will find Gasket, Seal and O Rings leaks as well as the smallest pinholes and porosity leaks. All our Industrial Leak Detection Dyes are compatible with the Host Fluids and Fluid System after the leak is repaired. There is no need to pre-clean machines or components before using Industrial Oil or Hydraulic Dye. The Fluorescence of the dye will show up on oil-covered surfaces. Because of the compatibility of the dyes with Host Fluids a preventive maintence program can be set up which may locate a small leak before it becomes a major problem. Yellow Industrial Water Dye. Due to its intense fluorescence in water, DF5301 Yellow Industrial Water Dye is used mainly for tracing and detecting underground streams and water leaks in coal mines, quarries, oil drilling pipe lines and storage tanks, as well as a dye marker in open seas and oceans. Its intense fluorescence allows detecting in concentrations as little as 1/ppm under ideal viewing conditions. For detecting leaks in storage tanks, pipe lines, boilers, absorption chillers, etc., 10/ppm is recommended. However, submerged lines could require a higher concentration to allow for a dilution factor. Likewise, under ideal conditions as little as 1/ppm may suffice.
