Product description
This automotive smoke machine helps locate leaks quickly using visible smoke or air pressure testing, useful for workshops and DIY mechanics. The Solary SD302 supports EVAP, exhaust, intake and fuel tank systems, and it reaches steady smoke output in about 20 seconds to flag even small leaks. If you need faster diagnostics the dual mode design gives options for a rough pressure check or a precise smoke trace, saving time on troubleshooting.
Key features
The unit offers two independently controlled modes, air and smoke, letting you inject air to spot pressure loss or release dense smoke to pinpoint the leak. It includes a pressure gauge so you can monitor pressure trends while testing, which helps tell if a pipeline holds pressure or needs repair. The smoke fluid is described by the manufacturer as non toxic, and the built in pump removes the need for extra compressors. For busy bays this compact tester combines portability and simplicity, and it works on cars, motorcycles, trucks, off road vehicles and boats. 🔧
Tech specs
- Name: Solary SD302
- Power: 12V DC
- Modes: Air mode: injects air, Smoke mode: visible smoke output
- Pump: Built in air pump
- Indicator: Pressure gauge
How to use it
Connect the device to the vehicle's intake or service port, switch to air mode to verify if the system holds pressure and watch the gauge. When a slow pressure drop appears switch to smoke mode to reveal the leak path visually. Expect smoke output within 20 seconds after activation according to the manufacturer. Avoid operating with low e liquid levels to prevent the overheat protection from triggering and interrupting the test. ⚠️
What stands out
The combination of an integrated air pump and a pressure gauge simplifies diagnostics, and the dual mode approach balances speed with accuracy. The built in safety feature pauses operation if the unit overheats or fluid runs low so the operator and the vehicle are protected. Solary SD302 brings a straightforward workflow to leak detection without extra compressors or complex setup. 🔎
