Solary 12V Automotive Smoke Machine Leak Detector — Built-In Pump, Fast Thick Smoke for EVAP & Vacuum Leaks (4.4 lb)

Solary's 12V automotive smoke machine is a compact, built-in-pump leak detector that produces dense diagnostic smoke in seconds to find EVAP, vacuum, turbo, intake and exhaust leaks.

This handheld, workshop-grade tester combines a self-contained air pump with a glycerin/baby-oil reservoir so you can locate leaks without dragging an air compressor to the vehicle. The unit is designed for fast setup, thick visible smoke output in about 10 seconds, and protective features like overheat and anti-frost safeguards to keep the device reliable during repeated use.

How quickly will this tool reveal leaks?

The Solary smoke machine is engineered for rapid detection — smoke begins forming within roughly 10 seconds of startup and builds to a strong, visible flow suitable for pinpointing even small leaks. That speed helps reduce diagnostic time and avoids prolonged vehicle downtime.

• Thick smoke output in ~10 seconds
• Built-in pump removes need for external air
• Works with glycerin or baby oil (not included)
• Strong enough to show tiny EVAP and vacuum leaks

What systems and vehicles can I test with it?

Built for multi-purpose diagnostics, this unit supports EVAP systems, vacuum circuits, low-pressure turbo lines, intake manifolds, cooling/EGR/exhaust leaks and more. It is compact and versatile enough to service cars, motorcycles, ATVs, SUVs and light trucks.

• EVAP and fuel-vapor system checks
• Vacuum and intake manifold leak detection
• Low-pressure turbo and exhaust inspection
• Fits cars, bikes, ATVs, SUVs and light trucks

How easy and safe is it to operate?

The interface is intentionally simple, letting novices start tests quickly while also suiting experienced technicians. Safety features such as overheat and anti-frost protection extend component life, and the recommended fluids (standard glycerin or baby oil) are non-corrosive and safe for typical engine components when used correctly.

• User-friendly controls for quick setup
• Overheat and anti-frost protection built-in
• Uses non-corrosive glycerin or baby oil
• Lightweight 4.4 lb body for portability

What does the kit include and how portable is it?

The unit’s compact form and 4.4 lb weight make it easy to store in a trunk or garage shelf and convenient to carry between jobs. You only need to add about 20 ml of glycerin or baby oil to start testing; hoses and adapters let you connect to a variety of ports and fittings on different vehicles.

• Self-contained design with internal air pump
• Requires ~20 ml glycerin or baby oil (not included)
• Multiple adapters and flexible hose compatibility
• Compact and portable for at-home or workshop use

Who is this for? The Solary smoke machine is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, mobile mechanics, and small repair shops that need a portable, reliable diagnostic device for identifying leaks quickly. It’s especially useful for technicians who test multiple vehicle types or need a compact smoke source without hauling an air compressor, and for owners who prefer to verify EVAP and vacuum integrity before committing to expensive repairs.
