A Hydrocarbon test requires the use of a 4 or 5-gas analyzer.
A 4-gas analyzer samples air and measures the amount of:
1) CO (Carbon Monoxide)
2) CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
3) HC (Hydrocarbons)
4) O2 (Oxygen)
A 5-gas analyzer measures all of those, plus:
5) NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen).
To do the test, remove the radiator or overflow cap and use the gas analyzer to sample the air within the cooling system. Be careful not to suck coolant into the gas analyzer.
If you haven't seen it, yet, here is a video that discusses this test.
