UV dye bottle filling

The UV Dye is a substance made up of a yellow-green
coloured fluorescent pigment, which means that, when lit by
an ultraviolet lamp, it becomes fluorescent and thus visible.
The UV dye can therefore be used to detect leaks of a small
entity inside the auto vehicle A/C system.
To fill the UV dye bottle (Fig.1 Pos. 9) it has to be extracted
from its housing by means of the quick coupler on the top
of the bottle; slightly press downward the coupler ring nut
to extract it.

"desiccant" material.

The air inside the bottle is therefore completely "dry"
After filling, close the bottle and place it back in its seat.
