- 2016 Subaru WRX. In this video you’ll see how to utilize the ATS Leak Detector to find leaks in an AC system. You’ll also see how it can be used for evap leaks as well. This tool has really helped us to keep vehicles from leaving with dye in the system and telling them to come back later. It’s perfect to help you track down the small leaks! Hope you enjoy!

Yes, please do an evap system
You got it!
DEFINITELY NEEDING MORE OF YOUR SUPER VIDEOS PLEASE,, BECAUSE WE ALL WHERE WAITING PATIENTLY AND IT FELT LIKE AN ETERNITY ,,,,,,,, ITS JUST HOW GOOD YOU'RE VIDEOS ARE . SO PLEASE SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH UPPING THE ANTI ON THE VIDEOS . THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT YOU PUT IN TO THESE GREAT VIDS🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Thank you for taking the time to present this to us. It is so nice to see there are intelligent techs still out there. I would LOVE to you use it on an evap system. thank you I will buy one of those this week.
Superb👍
Definitely want to see an EVAP leak test video😍
Thanks for sharing Professor, Stay Safe👍
Great video, Sherwood. really important to use the equipment properly when chasing these leaks. I used to work with a guy who would use the electronic leak detector with a huge fan blowing on him, then complain that the tool doesn't work. I never got to use the bullseye kit, but it looks to work great! I'd love to se more videos using it.
I really enjoy watching your channel Sherwood.
Really like you videos. I learn so much from you. Thanks!
Wow, you guys have the top of the line tools.
What a great kit! Thanks for sharing!
Great video guys keep up the good work.
Cool video and I like the detailed explanations you give. When it comes to AC leaks we use Nitrogen with Hydrogen trace gas and a Hydrogen detector. It's good for evaps as you can usually pick up at the vents due to the Hydrogen rising.
Love your videos. Thats a well equipped shop
defiantly wanting to see this kit used on an evap system.
CO2 is nice it has its advantages and disadvantages as you mentioned in the video. What is your breathing if you have a very good sensitive CO2 leak detector like my Inforcon Stratuts. Just breathing in the vicinity will set it off every time. As cars drive in and out of the shop, what is a big portion of exhaust gas from an engine CO2?.
When you go into an passenger compartment just yourself breathing inside the passenger compartment will rapidly raise the CO2 concentration to a couple thousand parts per million.
We found it best to wear a heavy filtered mask like for the flu for Covid to stop your breath from projecting straight forward in a stream of high concentration . It still comes out, but at least it’s kind of stays around in your face area..
Hey nitrogen, helium or nitrogen hydrogen with a dedicated leak detector for hydrogen or helium. Works much better and you never have to worry about CO2 contamination from your breath or vehicles being started or driven in and out of the shop while you’re trying to perform your test..
Awesome video! Do you guys plan on every doing any tips and tricks on service writing?
I learn a lot from you guys.
Please do use it on an EVAP. I'm trying, at this very moment, to sell this kit to my boss. Your straight to the point videos might just be the ticket to make him swallow the pill.
4k plus the cost of a tank. Jeez I know it's a great kit but there is some huge margins in the ATS stuff.
@@greg7886 It sure is. It is certainly not made for a small shop, even less for the DIYer, but if you do this kind of work day in, day out, with the time you save it'll pay for itself in no time.
And I'm not even factoring in the fact that with R1234yf, every time you unhook the machine, you loose about 35$ worth of gas...
You can also make do with the less expensive kit that does not include the device that automatically shuts the EVAP valves.
Nice one ! Thanks !!
I have this tool. It worked for 3 mts and Leak detector broke. Its under warranty waiting for a new one. It's a good tool. Hope the next one last's longer
Would love to see this leak detection tool on an evap
Dry compressed air and soapy water also work well , bubbles dont lie . Also dye
Yes i want to see an evap system check
I was very curious what the process was to repairing the leak around the bolt.
I'm sorry if I missed it but what PSI are you charging the system to? And why can't you use nitrogen?
How do you feel about using AC dye & UV light to diagnose Freon leaks vs CO2 leak check?
I have no problem with using ac dye. It can take longer to find if you have to put it in then wait for it to leak and show a leak. This method allows us to find the leak right away.
Great vid! but $5k for a kit too much for some of us!
What company did you buy this tool from?
I am an hvac tech and I just want to let everyone know that its not a good idea to use shop air or any other type of contaminating propellant because you could introduce excessive moisture into the refrigerant loop and moisture with refrigerant and refrigerant oil entrapped in the system could cause clogs or rapid corrosion which will eventually require a full system replacement. When in doubt pick up a tank of dry nitrogen gas. Its clean and moisture free. The only issue would be that you would have to first add a small amount of refrigerant to use as a trace gas for a refrigerant leak detector. This would only be needed mainly to test the evaporator side that is difficult to reach, otherwise just nitrogen pressure and soap bubbles. NEVER use oxygen to leak test or come in contact with a petroleum based product as it could react violently and combust.
HVAC know that you are 💯 right most shops use the dye to pinpoint leaks putting anything else in to it you will definitely shorten the lifespan
U are correct!
But If you have a leak and have no gás on it, shouldnt the system be filled with normal air that hás already moisture in it?
The Bullseye leak detector is a very wide purchase for a quality repair shop.
I use shop air and listen and it use soapy water
I use black light
It says on the Leak detection can not to shake it up!!!
Wanna see this reveal a leak on an AC evaporator core
We can do that!
@@theroyaltyautoservice carry on😂

Here is a video of it working on an evaporator.
@@Sonichu_is_watching thanks for the video
Forming gas is a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, typically in a ratio of five to 95 percent, personal preference
Magnificent advice and presentation. I know an "experienced" technician and he never mentioned something like these tools to a noice like me. I worked for him for free in exchange for experience for three months and he took months to issolate network problems which I have solved on campus in the same day... I guess he's a scumbag and not as experienced has he claims to be...
It is a very bad idea to use co2. You may not know that co2 mostly has a lot of moisture in it, which will mess up the compressor and evaporator.
What am I missing here? Shop air and soapy water is free. Sniffers have been around forever. I see zero advantages of expensive CO2 that causes calibration issues and goes off with every breath within arms distance.

Shop air and soapy water. Way faster
And you introduced a lot of moisture into the system, now you have two problems.
@@mastmecThat's what they said about the co vi d vaccine too!
