Find Vacuum, EVAP and Exhaust Leaks With Smoke and a Pressure Gauge
The T100 heats test oil into smoke and pushes it into the line under test with its built-in air pump, so no separate air supply is needed. The pressure gauge shows how much pressure the line holds, which helps judge the size of a leak.
- Built-In Air Pump
- Smoke Within 10 Seconds
- Pressure Gauge
- Overheat Shutoff
- Hang-Up Hook
Key Features
-
No External Air Supply
The built-in air pump lets you complete tests at any location without connecting other air equipment.
-
Fast Smoke Output
Smoke starts within 10 seconds of switch-on, and the line under test fills in about 30 seconds.
-
Read the Leak on the Gauge
Watch the pressure change to judge whether a line has no leak, a small leak or a severe leak.
-
Multiple System Tests
Tightness, intake, exhaust, cooling and EVAP system tests, with an assortment of adapters for different pipe systems.
-
Overheat and Anti-Frost Protection
A smart protector cuts power automatically if the unit exceeds its working limit, such as above 75ยฐC.
-
Practical Details
A hook for hanging the unit during testing, an anti-scald oil filler knob, a work indicator, and an outlet to drain and recycle leftover oil.
Highlights
Judge the Leak
Gauge readings next to smoke for no leak, a small leak and a severe leak.
Where to Look
Crankcase, oil seals, intercooler, throttle valve, intake manifold, exhaust, fuel tank, pipe fittings and coolant tank.
Protection
Power cuts off above 75ยฐC, and the unit can work normally at -20ยฐC.

How to Use
- Add test oilBefore first use, fill 10โ15 ml of baby oil or liquid paraffin through the filler.
- Hang the unitOpen the engine cover and hang the detector from it by the hook.
- Open the valveGently turn the knob to open the airflow regulator valve.
- Connect the pipeDisconnect the pipe to be tested and connect it to the detector.
- Power onConnect the detector to the 12V battery and turn on the power switch.
- Find the leakAfter about 30 seconds the pipe fills with smoke; check for leak points, using a headlamp if needed.
Good to Know
Caution
- Connect only to a 12V battery; too much current will damage the machine.
- Do not add more than 15 ml of oil at a time, or there will not be enough space inside to produce smoke.
- Do not run the detector for more than 8 minutes continuously; let it rest between runs. If the protector shuts it off, operate it again later.
- The round part of the unit gets hot; take care to avoid burns.
- Keep smoke away from smoke-sensitive parts during testing.
Care
- Add fresh oil only when the smoke gets thin.
- Pour out the old oil before refilling, and replace the oil regularly.
