I do not believe in using dye.
It has the potential for clogging up all sorts of small things...
AND more importantly does not help with leaks on the top of lines or in the evaporator area.... so there are too many downsides for me to put the stuff into my system.

The Nitrogen is for a four oz shot of R22 for leak checking and also for propelling the flush through the system... .... I do not expect any leaks since I will be taking the entire system down and flushing, putting nylog on correct seals, using two wrenches for each holding job where called for, new compressor, etc..
But believe in checking the system in the pressurized condition before checking in the vacuum condition.

HF sells them for under $100 ? I am getting mine AND it shipped to me for a TOTAL of $35.

For use with nitrogen and a few ounces of R22, the TIF should work fine. R22 is very easily detected by any sniffer. It is 134 that warrants the newer technology. The older sniffers don't work very well with 134.

I agree Larry.... I only have two cars to work on... the 240 with R12..
and the 95 Lincoln with R134a... the compressor is leaking out the front seal on that one.. so I may not need an actual leak finder... that is my hope... at $35 if it works just for the 240 I will be very pleased...
Now to find that small an amount of R22..... any suggestions ?
