With Dye-Lite TP-3100 fluorescent dye, technicians can add a small amount of dye to petroleum-based fluid systems, allow it to circulate for several minutes and use a high-intensity Tracerline ultraviolet or blue light lamp to pinpoint oil leaks, the company said.
Wherever there is a leak, the dye accumulates and glows bright yellow. TP-3100 dye can remain safely in the system until the oil is changed and periodic inspections with the lamp can detect leaks during preventive maintenance intervals.
