How to Build a Automotive Smoke Machine (Vacuum Leak Detector)

How to Build a Automotive Smoke Machine (Vacuum Leak Detector)

This is a great way to find vacuum, exhaust, and engine leaks. Easy and fun to build. I have a P0422 and P0455 code on my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee indicating a small and large leak in the EVAP system and the easiest way to find a vacuum leak is to apply smoke to the system and smoke will appear where there is a leak. I'll show you how to build and use this inexpensive smoke machine. CAUTION should be used when using a smoke machine. Always hook up the air hose first and make sure to turn down the air pressure to only 1 to 2 psi and only then can the alligator clips be hooked to the battery. After watching many other vacuum smoke leak detection videos I found the BREW2L my favorite, this video is based on his version of his vacuum leak detector. Here is a link to BREW2L's MR.
