Finally, if you’re only looking to troubleshoot an EVAP system, keep in mind that the hose you’re connecting to is probably on the smaller side. You don’t want a massive adapter as this won’t let you get the smoke where it needs to go. 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. While our engineers haven't yet gotten hands on with the EG Air in our Lab, they're impressed by many of its features. First and foremost, this well-priced detector comes equipped with a six-foot extension cord so you can plug it into an outlet and mount it near the ceiling to detect natural gas or near the floor to detect propane. This is a big reason why having the ability to regulate the airflow from the compressor is a huge perk. With a separate compressor that you hook up to a machine, this is almost always an option, but for EVAP smoke machines that come with built-in compressors, it’s not always an option. Regulating Smoke Output – Why It Matters When it comes to keeping your car running smoothly, it pays to have a fuel leak detector smoke machine on hand. Not only can it help you identify and diagnose issues faster, but it can also help you save money on costly repairs.

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 S3000 smoke tester adopts an independent switch control design, air mode switch independent-controlled built-air pump, and smoke mode switch independent-controlled smoke generator. And with its built-in intelligent protection device, once it exceeds the working limit, the device will automatically turn off the power to ensure the safety of the operator and the equipment. 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. Rounding out our list is the Autoand EVAP Smoke Machine Leak Detector. But let’s get one thing straight, just because it’s at the bottom of our list doesn’t mean it’s a poor choice. It’s an extremely effective EVAP smoke machine, it’s just that it’s an extremely expensive option. Featuring the latest EVAP system test, intake system tests, exhaust system tests, and more, this professional smoke leak detector makes it easier than ever to troubleshoot your vehicle's issues.This smoke detector is equipped with the latest intelligent protection device. When the temperature of the device exceeds 75 degrees Celsius, the power protection device will be intelligently activated to turn it off, to ensure the safety of the operator and the device. The device is also suitable for low temperature operation. Easy to Use

So, what gives? Is it really a feature you need, and if so, why doesn’t the personal level machines typically have them? It’s another EVAP smoke machine that makes a great addition to a professional automotive shop, but it might be a little overkill if you’re just looking for a diagnostic tool to add to your home garage.

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. When your EVAP system has a leak, harmful fuel emissions are able to escape into the atmosphere, this is damaging to the environment and EVAP leaks can also cause damage to your vehicle’s engine over time.
