TOOL: AC oil injector


This week, has been a good week for the shops. The week before Memorial Day weekend is usually filled with preventive maintenance and getting the AC working after a long winter. It always the seemed that people waited to the last minute to get their car ready for the family trip. Trying to explain to them that either we were booked solid or it would take longer than an hour to perform a years worth of maintenance was futile.
This morning I spotted YELLOW JACKET’s Oil Injector in the page's of last April's TECH SHOP, it is a great tool that can save a lot of time in maintenance and diagnosis.
The tool has a body and cap of rugged aluminum with an O-ring seal. The male fitting is at one end of a short length of hose with Schrader. The ball valve for control is on the other end with a short length of hose. A valve depressor is in the female end. This saves time on many applications: add oil or UV dye to a system; easy connection to manifold hose; push oil with refrigerant or pull in with vacuum. Available in 2 oz. and 4 oz. injectors for R-12 and R-134a.
