When it comes to smoke machines, you get what you pay for and this detector from Eisen Tools does not have as many features as others we have reviewed. However, this is still a great product that will effectively help you find any leaks inside your vehicle’s EVAP system. This is a budget smoke machine but it still has high customer satisfaction and is able to effectively find leaks in your EVAP and other sealed systems.

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 RhinoTuning Automotive Smoke Tester Leak Detector is extremely similar to the Vacuum Car Smoke Machine Leak Detector, but it’s not identical. The main difference is the accessories that the RhinoTuning Automotive Smoke Tester Leak Detector comes with. This tool is designed for serious shops and technicians. It is the most advanced smoke machine available to date. If those cables sound too long, don’t stress, with a built-in Velcro fastener on the side, you can neatly keep the cables out of the way while you get to work.The Pro Automotive Smoke Machine has a 7ft smoke hose, 8oz of OEM approved smoke fluid, a 10 ft power cable, and a 10 amp power fuse. If you are worried about pressure safety, don’t be, this smoke machine uses an industry-standard 1 psi regulator. An EVAP smoke machine works by running smoke through the pipes in your car’s EVAP system. If there are leaks, smoke will be released through the holes. 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. The machine can be used to diagnose issues in the EVAP System, Intake System, Exhaust System, Crankcase System, Engine Air Tightness, and Cooling Systems. Its integrated air pump and smoke generator eliminate any reliance on additional external machines while still providing a 4L/min output value of smoke. What You Should Know Battery life: Make sure the device has an indicator so you know it’s powered. Test your installed detectors every month, and replace the batteries at least once a year. Choosing to replace them on New Year’s Day is always a good annual reminder. Some devices are a sealed unit and must be completely replaced when the battery fails.

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.And on the other side of things, if your smoke machine doesn’t produce enough smoke, you might not be able to see it escaping through the leak. There’s a fine line you need to find with many leaks and having a machine that lets you regulate the overall smoke output lets you walk that line. What Accessories Do You Need?
