Note
♦
A/C system must be operated for a minimum of 60 min. so that
the additive distributes itself in the entire refrigerant circuit
(compressor must be running). Depending on the size of the
leak, it may become visible under UV light within that time.
♦
Depending on the size and location of the leak, it can now last
up to several days until enough refrigerant oil with additive
flows out to determine definitely the leaking area.
