FAQ

Q: Is this kit safe for use with hybrid and electric vehicles?
A: Yes. The forming gas is non-flammable, non-reactive, and safe for use in EV and hybrid platforms.

Q: Do I need a separate detector?
A: Yes, you’ll need a hydrogen sniffer such as the TEXA H2 Detect to complete the leak detection process.

Q: How does it compare to dye or UV methods?
A: Forming gas is faster, cleaner, and far more accurate—especially for detecting micro-leaks that dyes often miss.

Q: Is a gas bottle included?

A: No, you will need Hydrogen gas
