Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector is a portable, built-in-pump device that generates dense smoke in about 10–30 seconds to quickly locate EVAP, vacuum, cooling, EGR, and exhaust leaks on cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

This compact smoke tester combines a self-contained air pump with a simple control layout, so you can perform on-the-spot leak diagnostics without an external compressor. Add a small amount of smoke fluid (baby oil or glycerin), connect to the system you want to test, and watch where smoke escapes to pinpoint cracks, loose fittings, or failed seals. It weighs just 2.3 kg and includes thermal and freeze protection for safer use in garage or roadside settings.

How fast and easy is it to find a leak with this smoke machine?

The Solary unit produces visible smoke within 10 seconds after adding about 20 ml of smoke fluid and powering the built-in pump. Its straightforward controls and lightweight design let both hobbyists and pros begin tests quickly without extra equipment.

  • Generates thick smoke in roughly 10–30 seconds after fluid insertion.
  • Built-in air pump removes need for external compressor or canned air.
  • Simple interface suitable for first-time users and technicians.
  • Portable 2.3 kg housing for quick setup and transport.

Which vehicle systems and situations can this detector handle?

The Solary smoke generator is designed for multi-scenario detection: EVAP systems, vacuum lines, exhaust and EGR leaks, cooling-system traces, plus non-automotive uses on instruments or small equipment. Adaptable connectors let you test many common leak points.

  • Works on EVAP, vacuum leaks, EGR, cooling systems, exhaust systems.
  • Usable on cars, trucks, motorcycles, and small scientific or industrial equipment.
  • Detects tiny cracks, porous hoses, loose clamps, and faulty gaskets.
  • Smoke color and volume make leak location visually clear in most lighting.

What safety and durability features protect the unit and operator?

Solary built thermal and freeze protections into the device to protect internal components and improve reliability when working in extreme temperatures. Safety cutoffs and a robust enclosure let you operate with more confidence during routine diagnostics.

  • Automatic shutdown above 75 °C prevents overheating during extended runs.
  • Freeze protection down to −20 °C preserves operation in cold conditions.
  • Lightweight, compact case resists workshop impacts and stores easily.
  • Low-entry controls reduce user error and speed up safe testing procedures.

What do I need to use it and what are the practical limits?

To produce smoke, add about 20 ml of baby oil or glycerin into the fluid chamber (fluid not included). While excellent for locating external leaks and line faults, visual smoke testing may be limited in very tight, inaccessible areas without additional disassembly or lighting.

  • Requires ~20 ml baby oil or glycerin per test; fluid not included in kit.
  • Best for accessible lines, connectors, housings, and visible seals.
  • May need auxiliary adapters or partial disassembly for confined components.
  • Not a substitute for pressure-decay testing in certain sealed systems.

Who this is for: The Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector is ideal for DIY mechanics, mobile technicians, small repair shops, fleet maintenance teams, and vehicle owners who want a portable, quick way to locate leaks without relying on an external air source. It’s also useful for engineers and labs needing a compact smoke source to test tubing, fittings, or small enclosures.
