I've been going through the archives reading everything I can find on a/c evaporators because I'm getting ready to replace mine. I came across a thread I started last year about finding freon leaks and now that I understand the situation better, I'm going to answer my own post with a warning to not blow yourself up. Freon leak detectors are sensitive to a variety of hydrocarbon molecules including gasoline. The situation with the DeLorean is unique (isn't it always?) in that the condensate drain is right next to the fuel tank where heavy fuel vapors will linger in the cavities in and around the frame. Considering that I had a defective TankZilla, there were plenty of fuel vapors making my leak detector think that the whole front of the car was a freon leak. And another thing I didn't know at the time is that these detectors work by monitoring a high voltage discharge in the sensor's tip. This spark can ignite fuel vapors, so it wasn't such a bright idea for me to go sticking the thing around the fuel tank.
