Isnt the can under pressure to spray it in? Should be able to take it to the fitting and push on, releasing the dye into system.

 

never used canned dye....dye packs i use have to be sucked in under vacuum.. that canned crap has sealer in it and goes in and clogges the orfice tube up.

 

kits like these http://www.etoolcart.com/images/products/detail/UVU332010.jpg

 

get sucked in

From what I remember that was the instructions on those diy at home kits. I've never used the stuff, like you said, I've heard it likes to clog shit.

 

i have watched it clog up a $7000 a/c machine... thats why they sell a tester to test and see if there is sealer in the system.

And sealer seals whatever it's in when it comes in contact with air/moisture - so most leaky systems tend to wind up with hardened sealer EVERYWHERE. If anyone ever bothered to read/follow the instructions on a can of sealer, they wouldn't use it.

 

(sealer in the system will also void every ac componenet manufacturer's warranty as well)

 

You can sometimes find 134a with dye in it - a little is plenty, but as mentioned DO NOT buy stuff with sealer in it.
