About this item

  • 【Why Need It】For example: 1. The rupture of the vacuum hose will cause the mixture to be too thick, the idle speed will increase, the hot car will not start well, the engine will surge during acceleration, the fuel consumption will increase significantly, and the exhaust pipe will emit black smoke. 2. Blocking will cause the idle speed to drift, and the idle speed is easy to stall. 3. Air leakage in the vacuum tube will cause the engine to run weakly
  • 【No Air Pump】1. The AUTOOL SDT103 smoke leak detector doesn't come with an internal air pump, so you'll need to connect it to an external workshop air source and a 12V vehicle power supply to bring in the workshop air.2. Turn the flow control dial of the AUTOOL SDT103 smoke leak detector counterclockwise to open the airflow, and then switch on the power at the back of the device. This will start the AUTOOL SDT103 machine, generating smoke. (When adding smoke oil to the AUTOOL SDT103 smoke leak detector, make sure not to exceed 20 ml, and please use baby oil or paraffin oila).
  • 【External Flow Meter】You can easily control the air pressure, because the air pressure of each pipe in the car is different. If the air pressure is too high, the pipe will be damaged, and if the air pressure is too low, the leak will not be detected. Therefore, the flow meter is very important to protect your detection system more effectively. Make testing safer
  • 【EVAP Detection】American cars that began production in 1996 are equipped with EVAP service ports; in most American cars, the EVAP service port is usually located in the engine compartment, but the EVAP service port of some special models may be located in other locations. Open the plastic cover of the EVAP service port, then use the spool wrench to remove the check valve clockwise, then install the EVAP service port adapter, and introduce smoke from the port into the EVAP leak detection system.
  • 【Wide Testing Range】The smoke leak detector can do smoke testing of multiple systems, such as EVAP systems, Intake Systems, Cooling / EGR /Exhaust Systems, Crankcase Systems, Engine Airtightness, Vacuum Leaks, Low Pressure Turbo leaks.Applicable cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, ATVs, light trucks and speedboats boats.
  • 【Three Years Warranty and Lifelong Maintenance】For the damage caused by non-human factors, AUTOOL promises to resend the parts for free within 3 years. For any demand, we warmly welcome you to tell us, and we will reply you as soon as possible within 24 hours.

Why detecting leaks in the automotive EVAP system is suggested?

With the implementation of international emission standards represented by CARB LEV III and EURO 6 and the requirement of an on-board diagnostic system, it is necessary for vehicles to have an on-board diagnostic function for small leakage (referring to 0.5mm or 1mm aperture) emission of EVAP system. Compared to cars without on-board diagnostic requirements, the frequency of EVAP system leak alarms will increase, so there will be a corresponding increase in demand for owners to enter service stations for EVAP system leak detection. For the special service stations of vehicle companies, a professional EVAP leak inspection and special tools or equipment for locating leak points are highly recommended, and our AUTOOL SDT 103 Automotive EVAP Leak Detector is a perfect tool for EVAP system inspection and repair.

This is great! Easy to use! I used a small amount of mineral oil. It makes a very good amount of smoke, it's adjustable, I turned the dial about half way. It connects with clamps to your positive and negative battery cable so it's totally portable to use outside if you're not able to work on your car at home. If you're in an apartment or don't have 110 AC, this is great because it runs off 12 volts DC. If you needed you could connect it to a power bank but the car battery works well . I was using it for approximately 10 minutes and it did not drain my car's battery to a point where it would not start. There was plenty of cranking power after I thought. I'm not sure how many amps it pulls . As far as the Air supply, It does not have a built-in one. You need external Air supply but you do not need to have shop air compressor, I used a bicycle pump with some acrylic tubing, a tire valve stem, hose adapters and a quick coupler for an air compressor hose for the female end to connect to the smoke machine. The bicycle pump method worked perfectly. I could control the flow of of air by hand. Very easy and there is no risk of pumping in too much air during your testing. You do not want to have a high amount of air pumping into that machine and filling up your engine Chambers with the too much air could blow something. Only need about 5 psi. No worries with there the bicycle pump method and it was very cheap to rig up. This is a must have diagnostic tool for all mechanics. This has helped me find vacuum leaks with ease. I would have never found this leak I had, it was a massive leak of air my car has in the throttle body area. It's in a tight spot. This helped me to determine where the exact leak was coming from. The TB gasket turned out to be fine after 35 years, it was the gasket to the air tube that seals around the mouth, which was an easy fix. I also had a small leak around and after market CAI intake elbow joint. I confirmed the repairs with the smoke test and the car ran much better. I recommend this.

Big fan of this tool. I purchased this because it had all the Extra Bungs and attachments for intake system and EVAP systems. Additionally you can vary the pressure and amount of smoke coming out. Others are just a simple on/off. Worked perfectly as intended. Now I have a reasonable priced smoke tester for my occasional testings.

As a mechanic at an independent shop, I'm always looking for tools that are simple in construction, quick to set up, and easy to use. I have had this tool for nearly a year, used it multiple times, and loaned it out a couple of times, too. For a DIYer, this tool (and others in this price range) are worth a shot. Smoke solution with UV dye did not work as well as regular mineral/baby oil did.My biggest gripe is the air line fitting. Because of the short gator clamp leads, you're probably going to deploy this in the engine bay, resting on a flat area, but the unit really doesn't weigh much, so any decently robust air line is going to encourage it to twist and tip over, especially if you're using a lift. I recommend using this with a smaller "whip hose" or using the regulator outlet hose as the whip (open it up and you'll see what I mean, it is quite simple). The second biggest drawback is there's no real way to determine how much oil is still in the unit, and whether it's a thermal or timed safety feature, it does shut off by itself after some time. Trying to find a very small leak (as in P0446, ~0.02") can be frustrating with this unit. You may have to stop and recheck the machine once or twice as you try to find the leak. Admittedly, that is not unique to this unit.The single feature that holds this back from five stars is the flow meter. While the regulator does reduce the overall pressure that flows through the system, the flow meter is adjustable and acts as a secondary control on the device. Professional diagnostic smoke machines, in my experience, use a non-adjustable flow meter that's calibrated appropriately. This flow meter, when wide open, exceeds its own range of measurement and even forces unburned oil/smoke solution down the outlet hose. Not a dealbreaker, but for the DIYer, it does increase the learning curve a bit.This may be a personal quirk to my device, but occasionally, if it sits unused for a while, it won't flow air at first. Blowing compressed air through the disassembled lines and ports takes care of that. I suspect that the flow meter ball gets a little sticky. A final note of caution: The size of the plug for the oil reservoir is not common. Take care not to lose it or drop it in an engine bay. It is not magnetic.If this device breaks, I'm more likely to upgrade than I am to repurchase it, but I would recommend this to anyone who needs a machine and doesn't have one.

It does the job. Helped me find the leaks in my exhaust flex coupling. I also used the "Maplefield - Diagnostic Smoke Fluid" which seemed to work well.
