Tracer Products has introduced a leak detection product, The Tracerline TP-8648 LeakFinder Wind and Water Kit, it said pinpoints wind and water leaks around windshields, hatches, sliding doors, sunroofs, or anywhere else that leaks can occur.
The kit includes a spray gun for applying fluorescent dye over a vehicle’s exterior, the OPTIMAX Jr — a cordless, high-intensity 75-watt blue light LED flashlight, an 8 oz. bottle of super-concentrated Dye-Lite fluorescent water dye and fluorescence-enhancing glasses. Everything is contained in a durable, plastic carrying case.
Operating the spray gun is simple, according to Tracer. Fill the bottle with the dye. Attach the gun to the water line and start the water flow. Spray the water/dye solution over the outside of the vehicle, focusing on the area where a leak is suspected. Then inspect the interior of the vehicle with the lamp. Wherever there is a leak, the dye will stand out clearly with a bright green glow, the company said.
After the leak has been repaired, turn off the dye flow and use the spray gun to wash away any residual dye from the exterior of the vehicle. The dye does not stain upholstery or any interior materials and will not affect the paint finish. The spray gun can also be used as a pressure washer and for flushing cooling systems, Tracer added.
