A color change from blue to yellow indicates the presence of CO2 in the cooling system, which can be a sign of a head gasket leak, cracked block, or warped head.
The kit uses a specific detector fluid, which is included.
The kit is compatible with most vehicles. Some vehicles may require an adaptor, like the cone adaptor or the adaptors from the Draper Radiator Pressure Test Kit (Stock Nos. 14455 and 23420).
Store the kit in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Replace the detector fluid as needed, or if it becomes contaminated. The fluid is provided with the kit.
A slow color change might indicate a minor leak. Monitor the system and consider further diagnostics if the issue persists.
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Allow the engine to cool down before opening the cooling system. Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves.
Ensure the tester is properly sealed on the radiator. Check for leaks in the tester itself. If the engine is not running, start the engine and let it idle. Ensure the fluid is not expired.
Try using an adaptor from the Draper Radiator Pressure Test Kit (Stock Nos. 14455 and 23420) or a cone adaptor. Ensure a snug fit.
