Full details

The Lisle 16oz Combustion Leak Detector Fluid for Diesel (75730) is designed for diesel engine owners and mechanics seeking an accurate and straightforward method to diagnose combustion leaks. Its primary benefit is the clear, visual color-change indicator that signals the presence of exhaust gases in the cooling system, preventing potential engine damage and improving fuel efficiency. A caveat is that it requires the Lisle 75500 Combustion Leak Detector for pinpointing the leak's exact location. This fluid offers a reliable solution for identifying critical engine issues through a simple, color-coded detection process.

What does it mean if the fluid turns yellow?

A color change from red to yellow indicates the presence of combustion gases in the cooling system, signaling a combustion leak.

Do I need any other tools to use this fluid?

Yes, you need the Lisle 75500 Combustion Leak Detector to accurately pinpoint the location of the leak once the fluid indicates its presence.

How long should the engine run after adding the fluid?

Allow the engine to run for a few minutes to ensure proper circulation of the fluid within the cooling system.

Is this fluid environmentally friendly?

The product information states that the fluid does not harm the environment.

What is the shelf life of the fluid?

Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific shelf life information, but generally, it should be stored as recommended.

Troubleshooting

Fluid does not change color

Ensure the engine has reached operating temperature and has been running for sufficient time. Verify that there is indeed a combustion leak present. Check that the Lisle 75500 detector is being used correctly.

Color change is faint or unclear

Ensure adequate lighting conditions when inspecting the fluid. If the color change is still ambiguous, try running the engine longer or performing a pressure test on the cooling system.

Fluid level drops significantly after test

This may indicate a severe leak in the cooling system or the combustion chamber. Use the Lisle 75500 detector to pinpoint the source of the leak and address it immediately.
