FAQ

How does the visual fluid change indicate a leak?

The detector contains a special fluid that remains blue under normal conditions. When combustion gases enter the fluid, a chemical reaction turns it yellow, providing a clear, immediate visual cue that a leak is present.

Can this detector be used on diesel engines?

Yes, the detector works with both gasoline and diesel engines. The fluid reacts to combustion gases regardless of fuel type, making it a versatile tool for mixed‑fuel service shops.

What is the recommended procedure for testing a head gasket?

First, connect the detector to the engine’s intake system following the user manual. Activate the hand‑pump to pressurize the system, then observe the fluid color. A shift from blue to yellow confirms a leak, indicating a possible blown head gasket or related issue.

Is the detector safe to use on hot engines?

The unit is designed to withstand typical engine temperatures encountered during testing. However, for safety and accuracy, it is best to perform the test when the engine is warm but not at peak operating temperature.

What warranty does OEMTOOLS provide for this product?

OEMTOOLS offers a limited one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Customers can contact OEMTOOLS support for replacement parts or a full unit exchange if the product fails under normal use conditions.
