>Black lights and tracer dyes have been used for at least 15 years in
the auto repair industry for hard to find leaks. A dye is added to which
ever system is suspected.
If I'm understanding my diesel shop correctly, they did not add dye to
the diesel fuel in our case. They said a component already in the fuel
glows blue under black light. Of course, they were only looking for
fuel, and they were looking for it in a place where other fluids--
coolant, oil-- would not normally be present. I can see where if trying
to check for a variety of leaks the use of dyes might be necessary to
differentiate one fluid from another.
