Product Information

After test, press Smoke Control Switch again to stop the unit from generating smoke and press Air Control Switch to stop generating pressurized air. Finally, not only does this EVAP smoke machine have an adjustable flow meter for both air and smoke, but it also has a built-in pressure gauge to help with your troubleshooting. It comes with everything you need to test fuel tanks, EVAP systems, exhaust systems, turbo leaks, and more! The 8.2ft hose and the 8ft power cable make using this smoke machine really easy, the equipment is definitely going to reach with no problems. Type of gas: It’s important to understand which gases can be detected by the device and which won’t be. Some detectors can identify more than one gas and some can detect smoke. But don’t make the incorrect assumption that a CO detector will also detect a natural gas leak: Unless it specifically says it will, it won’t.

Spray: A gas leak detector spray is only effective if you manage to spray it on exactly the spot where the potentially explosive gas leak is occurring. It works the same way as spraying soapy water on a tire that's losing air. It's for this reason that we don't recommend using spray gas leak detectors.

You don’t want to break your machine, even if it isn’t as expensive as the commercial level products! A Note on Warranties

Are you looking for the best fuel leak detectors to diagnose EVAP systems, Vacuum leaks, low-pressure Turbo leaks, Intake Manifolds, and Cooling/EGR/Exhaust Systems? When the air mode is activated, you can run air through the system and a whistling sound will indicate if there are any holes.

The EVAP system is in place in a car’s engine to try and stop gasoline vapors from escaping from the car’s fuel system and leaking out into the environment or your vehicle’s engine. However, it does not come with any smoke oil, and you still can’t control the output flow. That’s not a huge deal if you’re using it in a home garage, if you’re in a professional automotive shop it can slow down different troubleshooting procedures. The Automotive EVAP Smoke Machine equipped with a liquid filled pressure gauge. By observing the change of pressure gauge, the leakge situation is clear at a glance. Adjustable Air Flow A really useful feature of this smoke machine is that the universal metal nozzle means you can attach it to all the lines and hoses in your engine systems.

What Is an EVAP Smoke Machine?

But if they’re both so identical, why is this one so much farther down the list? The truth is that it all comes down to the price. While they’re from different brands, they’re almost identical in every way, but this one is more expensive! Clean the inner wall of the intake opening to avoid sharp objects and put the Universal Intake Adapter into the opening. But the reason the RhinoTuning Automotive Smoke Tester Leak Detector falls one spot below the Vacuum Car Smoke Machine Leak Detector has nothing to do with performance. Instead, it has everything to do with price.

Even better for you is the fact that it comes with a 3-year warranty and has both overheat and anti-frost protection. So, while this EVAP smoke machine might cost a little more compared to many of the options on our list, if you plan on using it a lot and need it to last, this might be the better choice. To help you find that pesky leak once and for all, you can use an EVAP smoke machine. Blowing smoke into the EVAP system will immediately show you where your leak is coming from and you will know exactly which parts need to be repaired or replaced.You may need additional sensors placed strategically around your home. According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), carbon monoxide detectors should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. As well as the smoke machine itself, this product includes a cone adapter, power cable clamp, valve-core wrench, oil refill bottle, hook, 1.5 smoke hose, EVAP special connector, universal airbag adapter, and several different sized soft and hard rubber connector. An EVAP leak may not seem serious but if gasoline vapors are able to escape this can be damaging to the environment and they may even end up trapped in the engine, causing even more expensive damage. The Ancel has indicator lights that show users exactly what the machine is doing, you will know if you are using air or smoke mode and the lights will also signal if the smoke machine is beginning to overheat. This gives maximum customization for easy troubleshooting of complex problems. It’s an outstanding choice for automotive repair shops – as long as you invest in the attachment pieces too. However, it’s a little overkill for most at-home applications.

The truth is that while they’re valuable features, they’re not something you’ll likely need if you’re only using them on your own vehicles. The reason for this is twofold. First, when it comes to overheating, you’re simply not using them as much as a professional mechanic. This machine has dual air and smoke modes and you can independently control the air and smoke flow using the individual controls. The entire design is extremely durable and if you care for it correctly, there’s no reason it can’t last far longer than the two-year warranty protects. You can adjust both the smoke and air output levels, and what’s even better is that it comes with a built-in compressor. When using the Romondes SM601, you have complete control over the smoke flow.Using the flow meter, you can increase or decrease the amount of smoke flowing through the system. And it’s why an automotive shop should spend a little more to get a comprehensive kit that covers just about any vehicle out there. The good news is that once you know what you need there are plenty of adaptersout there to help you out.Throughout your home, you may need multiple gas leak detectors, especially if you have more than one bedroom or level. Most of the sensors we recommend will operate continuously, usually for years, to alert you if a gas leak is detected. These detectors are not designed to identify the exact source of a leak. Utility companies strongly caution homeowners against searching for the source if they have been alerted to a potential gas leak. If you would rather perform a smoke test, the machine will create up to 6L per minute when it is hooked up to a 12V vehicle battery.
