I have been working on cars and trucks for over 50 years. owned my own auto repair shop over 30 years. I have been smoking ac systems for a long time. However what I did is replace the oil in the machine with compressor oil instead of what ever comes in it. Saves a whole lot of time and guess work. Works great, never had a problem. Smoke em if ya got em.

[@El69_]

More ac smoke tests like these would be awesome ive been wanting to try something like that

[@AutoRepairTips757]

It works great

[@trevoreder4822]

Great idea!

[@heterogeneityrocks1]

Hi Refrigerant leak detection is 1/ pressure leak only achieved with trace refrigerant and nitrogen pump ed to first 250psi then 300psi 2a electronic leak detector 2b ultrasonic detector 2c soap bubbles 3/ vacuum Some detectors require constant movement some require resetting in clean air , some have annual replacement tips . Vacuum testing is done with a micron gauge Have you micron tested your gauge set , no mechanic shop does R134a couplers leak badly unless sealed properly at least every 6-12 mths RRR machines Recover Recycle Recharge has it been serviced ? Vacuum pump oil changed and micron tested ? Evacuating a contaminated system thats been open for along time should be at least over night 16 hrs minimum .Drier replaced Due to the hydroscopic oil its always best to flush all parts except compressor and reoil compressor . After parts are flushed always blow through with nitrogen . All this will lower evacuation time by 75%

HELLO ARE YOU BASE OUT OF HOUSTON,TX?

[@AutoRepairTips757]

No Va

[@ignatius2230]

Using the refrigerant leak detector inside the airstream vents would indicate this leak. The smoke test isnt great if you coinsider moisture ingression inside the A/C system and only would indicate big leaks

[@alaingillot4718]

The moisture will be removed when you evacuate >

[@Monsterx13]

i have never had a danm sniffer find a leak

[@ignatius2230]

​@@alaingillot4718 Compressed air is wet, les say its humidity is higher When you pressurize the system isnt a big quantity really but remember there is dessicant material there. You do not dehidrate a oiled dessiccant bag with vacuum only, it cannot be dinero. If you unlucky and your compressrd air is too wet leaving water mist it mixes with pag oil which is hygrosvopic. You cant dehidrate water miedo with oil by boiling it, there is no way. Using compressed air is a big nono, if you cant avoid its okay but never say its acceptable

[@abranchi26]

Hlw how are you
