Product Description

The SPECTROLINE TP-3380-0008 is a liquid fluorescent leak detection dye packaged in an 8 oz bottle. It is formulated to fluoresce under UV or black light, allowing technicians to quickly pinpoint fluid leaks in automotive and light-duty systems. The dye has a specific gravity of 0.8883 and is yellow in color, making traced leaks visible once illuminated. It is compatible with multiple fluid types, making it a versatile single-bottle solution for shops handling a range of vehicle systems. Automotive technicians and fleet service professionals are the primary installers and users of this product.

This dye is designed for use in gasoline and diesel engine oil systems, automatic transmission circuits, power steering systems, gasoline and diesel fuel systems, and hydraulic circuits. It is well suited for both routine leak diagnosis and return-visit verification after a repair has been completed. The 8 oz bottle size is appropriate for single-vehicle service or small batch shop use, and the liquid form allows for easy metering into system fill ports.

Installation Notes

This product is typically applied by automotive technicians and fluid system service professionals. Before adding dye, identify the correct fill or service port for the target system and follow the vehicle manufacturer service procedure for that circuit. Use the recommended dye dosage for the system volume being tested; do not overdose, as excess dye can affect fluid appearance and complicate future diagnosis. After adding dye and running the system, inspect all potential leak points with an appropriate UV or black light lamp.
