[ What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims:] [1.] An apparatus for charging a pressurized air conditioning or refrigeration system with a secondary fluid, comprising:a) a canister containing a secondary fluid, wherein said secondary fluid comprises a fluid dye and wherein said canister includes:i) a tubular casing for holding the secondary fluid therein,ii) a nozzle integral with and extending out from a first end of said tubular casing to engage with one end of a fluidly coupling means, andiii) a piston inserted within an open second end of said tubular casing to engage with a secondary fluid forcing means;b) means for fluidly coupling said canister to the pressurized system,wherein said fluidly coupling means is a connector assembly having a first end connected to said nozzle of said canister and a second end connected to a service valve of the pressurized system,wherein said connector assembly includes:i) a flexible conduit,ii) a thread on a first end of said flexible conduit, to engage with said nozzle of said canister, andiii) a release valve on a second end of said flexible conduit, to engage with the service valve of the pressurized system, andwherein said connector assembly further includes a valve at one end of said flexible conduit, which prevents any material from back flushing into and contaminating the secondary fluid in said canister; andc) means for forcing the secondary fluid out of said canister, through said fluidly coupling means and into a service valve of the pressurized system.
