SERVICE INFORMATION

FHI engineering and our A/C manufacturing vendors do not support the use of dyes to diagnose an A/C refrigerant leak. Use of such dyes can affect the performance of the system. We encourage the use of a good leak detector for R-134-A refrigerant to accurately pinpoint a leak.

The recommended tool can be found under the tool weblink that is located on STIS under "Links". Click on the top Air Conditioning link on the left hand column then you can select one of the leak detectors that are currently available.
