It produces visible smoke within 20 seconds, supports both smoke and air injection modes, and includes overheat protection and a clear analog gauge so you can confirm whether a system holds pressure while watching for visible leak points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will I see smoke and start locating leaks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SD302 warms and begins producing thick smoke in about 20 seconds, letting you inspect seals and hoses almost immediately. The rapid smoke output makes small leaks visible as the smoke escapes from cracks, joints or damaged fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWarm-up to dense smoke in ~20 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-mode operation: smoke for visual detection, air for pressure testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in pump avoids the need for external compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat systems and vehicles can this smoke tester diagnose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolary designed the SD302 for broad automotive use: EVAP systems, intake and exhaust plumbing, fuel tanks, vacuum lines, engine airtightness and various pipe fittings.
