This seems pretty sweet, I think I might have to get one. This would be really great for any guys that do side jobs or mobile mechanics, good option since you don’t need to have shop air for it to work.
That is interesting. I do heavy duty truck. Went to a after treatment class. They recommended smoke machine. They found using a yellow colored light shows up small leaks best. Thanks!
Question, if there are no leak, wouldnt the pressure build up to much to potentially cause an issue? How much PSI are these machines putting out and what do you do for the ones like this that do not have a regulator to lower the output pressure? THX
Yes it can cause an issue over pressurizing the evap system, I did not check the PSI this thing puts out before trying it out so would caution and double check the machines pressure capabilities first hand.
I look this up on Amazon!! I'm quite curious about between the oil and the vape. Is there juice for the vapor to occur, or is it through the oil to and lubricates both the motor pump and The vape? and how does it make it's vape vape is it to the oil or something... else . I'm trying to get me a new one
Could you share what liquid you use for the smoke? I have similar machine from different brand and use Johnson & Johnson baby oil but still doesn`t produce at all such smoke as on your video. I could try liquid for concert stage smoke machine that should be more ... "smoky" but have no idea if matter.. Any suggestions will be quite useful to say at least..
Not sure what exactly they give you but I would check amazon for Automotive Smoke Fluid Solution there seems to be a few brands with alot of good reviews.
So according to the specs, these machines have an output of 7.25 to 116 psi, I believe u should only use around 1 psi to test evap systems, don't know if maybe you just have to quickly spray it in then pull it out😶🌫️
Hey man, are you connected with the Mowers N Blowers youtube channel? Because if not, they are using parts of your videos and passing them off as their own... The channel Mowers N Blowers has a video titled "ANCEL S300 Smoke Machine EVAP Leak Detector Tester w/Built-in Pump Fuel Vacuum" and at the 5:45 mark they are using part of your video here and passing it off as their own with their own voice-over...
I have a 4-cylinder engine, in one cylinder (no. 2) I have pressure loss, the fuel injection system is messed up. With this device can I check the release of pressure at the cylinder through the injector hole? Maybe I will find out if the loss is at the piston or at the valves?
@@joeglass8431if you’re using this on an evap system, you’re likely doing it because the car set a code for an evap leak. If there is an evap leak, the smoke/pressure will leak out of the evap leak and it won’t build pressure, so you can use it on a evap system ya bozo. Just remember to command your vent valve shut first fellas otherwise it will leak out of it and could lead you to an incorrect diagnosis. 👍
A quick note on these Chinese evap testers. They put out way to much pressure for evap testing. The maximum pressure for the evap system is .5 psi or around 13.0 in. H20. The Ancel is putting out way over .5 psi. Anything over 7 psi can damage pressure sensors and or blow off hoses. 14 psi is OK for intake and exhaust testing but way to high for evap.
Hello ,you are great tester about the make great video in TH-cam ,and now we are also have new item want to cooperation with you ,hope you can reply us ,and i show the smoke machines car leaks ,thanks again ,
An inflatable air mattress pump and a cigar will work just as well and cost less than $20.00. You can buy them for 12v DC. Clip the leads to the cars battery, light the cigar and turn the pump on. You'll get just as much smoke as this over priced Ancel.
Interesting, Ive only used it a handful of times since making this video But it did leak the fluid out after sitting for a few months which sucked. But it still works.

Thanks!
I bought one of these and I especially like it has its own compressor. Makes it very portable.
thank you for the review. I ordered one through Amazon to test the exhaust on my 95 Civic.
Great video, sometimes I use a portable battery pack to power things like the smoke machine or other accessories
It's not about the motion of the ocean but the smoke that you cloak . 😌👌🏼
Facts
😂
Nice output. I ordered one up. Amazon said only 11 left in stock when I ordered.
Thanks Papi
Nice man 👍
Great test. Very thorough.
Great video. You gave alot of information. Thanks
Can you adjust the pressure ?

Interesting! I have a question does the smoke combustible? Do i need to have a fire extinguisher?
You mean flammable? Im not too sure. never had an open flame by it but it is basically vaporized baby oil so do not think it would ignite.
@@LetsDriftMedia thank you for response

Great video, tried to order one with the promo code but didn't work for me. Is the code still valid ?
Can you smoke test a diesel truck with a turbo?
Definite need for any boosted car

Does this smoke machine smell really bad ? I had a 20 dollar one and it smelled badddd so i through it out
Just for occasional garage mechs, how does this compare to the Solary?
Never tried that one but for the price Amazon reviews seem to have good things to say about it, Don't think you can go wrong with that one.
Will the smoke not leave a
residue on sensors and possibly mess with them?
No.
Hey Nick, can I put motor oil to that evap smoke tester? Will it work, as ´´mineral oil´´ is motor oil aswell?
I dont think that will work. Ive only used the stuff they supply it with or baby oil
Good morning, you want to buy this detector. My question is, doesn't this machine need a compressor like the others? thank you
What you see is what you get and thats all you need, it has a built in compressor. Pretty good smoke machine for how small it is.
I’ve got one of these should it pressurise the crank case when used thought the intake?
Not unless you have some worn piston rings or you are pumping excessive pressure through your smoke machine.
And here I was thinking that I’m the only one who sings I got hoes by Nate dogg whenever I’m grabbing a hose😂
You are not alone.
The Device is ok. Unfortunately, the quality of the writing on the device is very poor. The color comes off after just a few days.
Can you find boost leaks with this machine?
Of course.
Have you tried it on the evap system? I hear these machines put out too much pressure for evap testing. Your opinions...
So according to the specs, these machines have an output of 7.25 to 116 psi, I believe u should only use around 1 psi to test evap systems, don't know if maybe you just have to quickly spray it in then pull it out😶🌫️

Yea you probably could. I’d rec using a leak down tester instead tho to find out where the compression loss is
I bought one it doesn’t create smoke I put mineral oil in it
Suppose to use the proper liquid.
Great job
Yo yoyo yoyonick nokoy Good intro bro
How much pressure it builds?
14 psi
Interesting video, it caught my eyes.
Cheech and Chong up in smoke ..LDM style! PEACE! Definitely going to buy one
Hahah
Good price compared to most brands
Seriously and considering its a tool you only use every so often
What about the holloween smoke blower
I'm curious if that liquid will work too havnt tried it yet
I got mine coming. Question, does it use the uv liquid type to spot the leak with a uv light?
It will work with UV liquid, thats actually the liquid I used in mine since thats what was available at my shop.
How do I subscribe?
It's spewing liquid instead of smoke, I don't know how to use this and the manual is useless.
the music turning on scared me
These machines put out way too much pressure and cannot be used in the evap system.
Why couldn't you use it on an evap system?........
@@landoflakes92 too much pressure
you can regulate the pressure on the device

How do you regulate it?@@zeyrox1174
My dad used to do this shit with a cigar
Mm... Used to.
@ yup these days he uses a smoke machine now it’s not the the 1980s anymore
so my car is HHR the battery is on the back so how Can I connect this tester to the battery of my car? any idea, thanks
you should still have a positive jumper stud somewhere under the hood you could use.
HHR have two post + and - beside the fuse box, under hood but the battery is in the back, thanks
Cigaret lighter
Can this be used with Cannabis?
If its oil based I dont see why not.
A quick note on these Chinese evap testers. They put out way to much pressure
for evap testing. The maximum pressure for the evap system is .5 psi or around

Hello ,you are great tester about the make great video in TH-cam ,and now we are also have new item want to cooperation with you ,hope you can reply us ,and i show the smoke machines car leaks ,thanks again ,
Please reach out through email for all business inquiries. inikko@live.com
@@LetsDriftMedia OK ,i will send the email for you again ,thanks
@@LetsDriftMedia hello ,friend , i have sent the email for you ,but have not reply to me ,
It’s like a 1/10 scale compared to the one I use lol
foreals haha
you can build a smoke machine for under 20 why spend 200+ on this
Some people would rather just buy a prebuilt machine
An inflatable air mattress pump and a cigar will work just as well and cost less than $20.00. You can buy them for 12v DC. Clip the leads to the cars battery, light the cigar and turn the pump on. You'll get just as much smoke as this over priced Ancel.
Theres always a cheaper alternative. Not everyone wants to do all that though.
😅
Thanks help TH-cam bro
Anytime
The reviews are junk on this Ancel
Interesting, Ive only used it a handful of times since making this video But it did leak the fluid out after sitting for a few months which sucked. But it still works.
