Hi, I would like to find a leak at fuel line by dye test. I bought 3 bottles of dye and UV light but I couldn't find the way to use or example. Help me.

basically just put 1 bottle of dye inside your tank... Turn the cars pump on... Don't start the car... Then go under the car with the UV light and shine it in area with the gas could go.. Now I never did this with gas but I did it with oil... So make sure the dye is gas compatible and will not ruin injectors and such.

IF you having an issue with that. Relieve the pressure on the line (should show u how in the FSM) and then put the dye in...

Does the dye saw how much to put in per tank?
