It comes with a red handle tool that is used to remove the Schrader valve from EVAP test port, and the short hose connector screws on so that smoke can be introduced into the system.
In this kit, there is no smoke fluid.
As soon as you connect the leads to your car battery terminals, the element that makes the smoke from the (baby) oil you put in it will begin to heat up.

It is important to note that this is not a professional evap smoke machine, so with that said, there are pros and cons to be considered. I found the vacuum leak very quickly because the vacuum leak detector worked. The pros are Designed in a compact format, and I really like the oil container with the viewing window so you can easily see how much oil is inside. Does what it says and is very effective at putting out smoke. So that it stays warm without becoming too hot, the housing shields the heat I consider this to be a plus. Several cons I would recommend a regulator for your compressor (it does have a regulator that states a half-psi) there is no psi gauge (just my preference) so you should have one Even though it has a valve on it you really don't know how much pressure it holds without a gauge. The looking glass was extremely hot when I touched it while using it. On mine, the hook mount is loose, but I won't be using it every day, so it's not a big deal. Secondly, it says in the description that it has its own air pump, but in reality, it does not so I would hope that they change that. Overall, I would recommend this for the fact that it works, just not in a shop since I do not think it would survive.
This led me to believe my vehicle had vacuum leaks, so I purchased it. I'd like to just say how great this machine has been. This was the first time I used pure mineral oil as the smoke oil, and it created plenty of smoke(too much to be honest). Very happy with how there is an adjustable flow control so you can control how much smoke is produced. In addition, I love that it comes with a pressure regulator, so you do not have As well, I noticed that the smoke hose is quite long, so you can reach far off items with ease. In the end, it appears that the unit was built solidly and was not flimsy at all. I will update this review in case anything goes wrong.
A leak was suspected in my Rav4 evap system, so I purchased the unit to find out what was wrong. Near the gas cap, the leak could be noticed within 60 seconds of the procedure. was a crack in the filler neck, not the gas cap, that was leaking. As I searched under the vehicle for smoke, I let the unit run for about ten minutes before lowering its volume by about 50%. The smoke was so thick that it was hard to turn it off. Please take caution In the vicinity of the sight glass, the unit gets quite hot. The heat is enough to leave a burn mark on the finger and cause the plastic fill cap to melt. Due to the fluid not being full or above the sight glass, I believe it was that hot. By the time the unit was full, it was not It is recommended that the fluid does not descend below half of I have had no problems with this product.
The air leak on my Audi was causing me problems. In spite of checking all the vacuum lines, I could not determine the cause of The mineral oil was put in this, the air compressor hose was hooked up to it, and the smoke gas was added to the oil dipstick. In a few minutes I saw smoke coming from one of the solenoids that controlled the variable valve timing. This turned out to be the oring that was hard and brittle and didn't seal the way it should. It did its job well. My discovery of this leak wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't found it.
The product was replaced as soon as possible without hesitation. I did not get refund. I have updated the software and it is now working as expected.
Although the product heats up the fluid, it does not blow smoke from the fitting or the hose on the machine, so I am going back for a refund. For a review to be submitted, one star had to be given.
dvr. gov. It was easy to find my leak. It took me a few minutes to add the proper connectors, but for most users it will find their leaks.
