The Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector produces dense smoke in about 10 seconds to quickly pinpoint EVAP, intake, and vacuum leaks for DIY and garage troubleshooting.
Designed for hobbyists and small-shop mechanics, this compact, battery-ready smoke tester brings professional-style leak finding into home garages. It combines a built-in air pump, stable pressure output, and a full accessory kit so you can trace leaks visually instead of guessing from symptoms or error codes. The unit is CE certified and engineered to work on most passenger vehicles, SUVs, trucks, and off-road rigs.
The Solary detector warms and delivers visible smoke in roughly 10 seconds, creating a high-density plume that reveals leak paths. Its sensitivity detects micro-leaks down to about 0.1 mm when used correctly, helping you trace even subtle vacuum or EVAP faults.
Solary built a compact, lightweight chassis (approx. 5.12 × 4.92 × 6.69 inches; 4.3 lb) and integrated an air pump so you won’t need an external compressor. The kit includes hoses, adapters, and a 60-inch alligator power lead, allowing rapid hookup to a vehicle’s 12V battery for in-vehicle or bench testing.
The unit maintains a steady output pressure between 19–23 PSI so smoke flows evenly through EVAP lines, intake passages, and vacuum hoses. Consistent pressure improves visibility and helps you follow smoke paths without intermittent surges or drops that could hide a leak.
The Solary kit ships with 100 ml of smoke oil; typical uses require only 10–20 ml each test, so one bottle supports multiple sessions. It’s compatible with family cars, SUVs, pickups, vans, and many off-road vehicles when using the included adapters, helping you avoid unnecessary parts replacement from guesswork.
Who this is for: The Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector is aimed at DIY car owners, home mechanics, and small repair shops that need an affordable, portable way to locate EVAP, intake, and vacuum leaks. If you want faster, clearer fault tracing without renting shop equipment or relying solely on trial-and-error repairs, this compact, battery-powered tester offers practical, repeatable diagnostics.
Q: Can I power the Solary smoke machine from my car battery?
A: Yes. The unit runs on DC 12V and includes a 60-inch alligator clip power cable for direct battery connection.
Q: How much smoke oil does each test use?
A: Expect roughly 10–20 ml of smoke oil per test; the included 100 ml bottle supports several inspections.
