Product Overview<\/h2>\n

The AUTOOL SDT102 smoke leak detector is a compact and lightweight automotive smoke tester for quick low-pressure leak detection in EVAP, intake, exhaust, crankcase, engine airtightness, vacuum, and low-pressure turbo systems. With a built-in air pump and pressure gauge, it helps diagnose leaks without an extra air compressor. It works from a DC 12V vehicle battery and is suitable for cars, motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, light trucks, and speedboats.<\/p>\n

Before You Order And Use<\/div>\n

Before You Order And Use<\/h2>\n

Review the 12V power requirement, testing oil rule, refill method, operating time limit, A\/C testing limit, and hot-surface warning before using the SDT102 smoke machine for vacuum leaks.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

12V Battery Required<\/h3>\n

The SDT102 automotive smoke tester must be connected to a DC 12V vehicle battery to operate. Confirm correct polarity before use.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n

\n

Testing Oil Not Included<\/h3>\n

Due to logistics restrictions, testing oil is not included. Use liquid paraffin or baby oil purchased locally as the testing fluid.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n

\n

Add 10-15ml Only<\/h3>\n

Fill 10-15ml testing oil before use. Do not add more than 15ml at a time, because internal space is needed for smoke generation.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n

\n

Refill When Smoke Becomes Thin<\/h3>\n

Only refill when the smoke becomes thin. Always drain the remaining test oil before adding fresh testing oil.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n

\n

8-Minute Use Limit<\/h3>\n

Do not operate the smoke leak detector continuously for more than 8 minutes. Allow the unit to rest between uses.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n

\n

A\/C Direct Test Not Supported<\/h3>\n

SDT102 cannot directly pressure-test automotive A\/C systems. It can only assist with segmented A\/C pipeline checks under proper conditions.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n <\/div>\n
