It helps detect:
• Air intake leaks
• Vacuum system leaks
• EVAP system leaks
• Pipe connection leaks
• Sealing problems
EVAP System Leak Testing
Supports EVAP leak diagnosis.
Compatible with common EVAP-related fault codes:
• P0443 to P0457
• P0465 to P0469
Helps technicians locate fuel vapor system leaks.
Adjustable Airflow Control
The 360-degree flow adjustment dial allows users to control smoke output and airflow according to testing requirements.
Benefits:
• Accurate leak inspection
• Better smoke distribution
• Flexible operation
Pressure Monitoring
Built-in pressure gauge displays real-time testing pressure.
Maximum test pressure:
• 15 PSI
Helps users determine whether the tested system has leakage.

4. Please Note the Following Limitations
- Only detects air/vapor leakage; cannot identify liquid leaks (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid seepage)
- Only compatible with 12V power supply; cannot work on 24V heavy-duty trucks, large construction machinery and large ships
- Not applicable for high-pressure industrial hydraulic pipelines and high-voltage fuel injection systems
- Special smoke oil is required for smoke generation; ordinary lubricating oil cannot be used instead
- Cannot perform electronic fault code reading, clearing or ECU programming; only for pipeline air tightness testing
- Prolonged continuous operation will trigger overheat protection, need intermittent rest
- Ultra-large commercial vehicle exhaust pipelines and high-pressure gas storage tanks are not supported
5. Hardware Accessories & Licensing Requirements
- Pure hardware smoke test equipment, no activation code, subscription fee or paid authorization required, ready to use after filling smoke oil and connecting 12V battery
- All required universal adapters, EVAP special tool, power cable and smoke tube are included in the standard package, no mandatory extra accessories
- Consumables that need separate purchase: Special smoke oil (not contained in the package)
- No matching diagnostic scanner required, independent operation without cooperating with other vehicle tools
6. Software Version & Supported Operating Systems
- Standalone mechanical hardware without built-in microcontroller firmware, no embedded software, PC program or mobile APP
- All operations rely on physical knobs and switches on the main unit, no computer connection needed in the whole testing process
