I have always had to add a can or 2 of Freon to my truck every year but the last time I added, it needed another within 2 weeks or so. I picked up a can of Genetron 134aUV thinking I could use a screw in black light bulb in a troublelight to find the leak but in reading the can and website, I question if that will work and if it is even a good idea to use this stuff. It sounds like the dye is not compatible with all systems and I need to find a label saying I have dye in the system. This is a 1996 Chevy K1500. So, questions are:
- Is this stuff compatible with my system?
- Is it a good idea to use this stuff anyway?
- Will the screw in black light bulb from Walmart (in a trouble light) work to find the dye? I see they sell special light and amber glasses but cannot find anything about why the glasses or what wavelenght light is required).
Many thanks for reading. Bobby
