Product Overview

The AUTOOL SDT106 smoke test machine is an entry-level automotive piping leak detection tool with a built-in air pump. It helps technicians and DIY users find low-pressure leaks in automotive pipe systems, including intake, exhaust, EVAP, car sealing, fuel tank, and various pipe fitting checks. The hook design makes it easier to hang the unit during work, and the detector runs from a DC12V battery.

Before You Order And Use

Before You Order And Use

Before starting a leak test, confirm the DC12V power requirement, testing oil rule, operating time limit, overheat protection, and hot-surface warning.

DC12V Battery Required

The SDT106 smoke detector must be connected to a DC12V battery before operation. Do not use an incompatible power source.

Testing Oil Not Included

Testing oil is not included due to logistics restrictions. Buy liquid paraffin or baby oil locally for use as the testing liquid.

Add 10-15ml Only

For first use, fill 10-15ml testing oil. Do not exceed this range, because overfilling leaves less space for smoke generation.

Refill Only When Smoke Is Thin

Only add fresh oil when the smoke becomes thin. Limit each fill to no more than 15ml.

Drain Old Oil First

Before filling fresh oil, pour out the remaining oil in the detector and replace detector oil regularly.

8-Minute Use Limit

Do not run the detector continuously for more than 8 minutes. Let the unit rest between test cycles.

Safety Reminder

  • During leak detection, keep smoke away from smoke-sensitive parts.
  • The round metal section of the detector may become hot during operation. Avoid direct contact to prevent burns.
  • If the internal temperature exceeds 75°C, the intelligent protection device shuts off the power automatically. Wait until the unit cools before operating it again.
  • The unit can work in low-temperature environments down to -20°C under proper conditions.
  • Do not refill oil while the detector is running.
Key Features

Key Features

SDT106 focuses on simple low-pressure automotive leak detection with a built-in pump, quick smoke output, compact hanging design, wide 12V vehicle coverage, and built-in protection.

Built-In Air Pump

No extra air pump is required. The built-in air pump helps reduce setup time and lowers the cost of entry for basic automotive smoke leak testing.

Quick Smoke Output

The detector starts producing smoke quickly after power-on. Allow the test pipe to fill with smoke before checking leak points visually.

Lightweight Hook Design

The compact body and hook design make it easier to hang the unit under the engine cover during inspection, transport it, and store it after use.

Low-Pressure Leak Detection

Suitable for low-pressure checks on EVAP, intake, exhaust, fuel tank, car sealing, and common vehicle pipe fitting systems.

Wide 12V Vehicle Coverage

Can be used for leak checks on cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, ATVs, light trucks, and speedboats that match the DC12V use requirement.

Overheat And Low-Temperature Protection

The protection device turns off power when the unit exceeds 75°C, and the machine supports low-temperature operation down to -20°C under proper conditions.

How To Use

How To Use

Use SDT106 with a DC12V battery and 10-15ml liquid paraffin or baby oil. After the detector starts producing smoke, allow the pipe to fill, then check the leak points visually.

Add Test Oil

For first use, fill 10-15ml baby oil or liquid paraffin into the detector. Do not overfill.

Connect The Test Pipe

Open the engine cover, hang the smoke test machine on the cover if needed, then disconnect the pipe that needs to be connected to the detector.

Connect DC12V Power

Connect the smoke test machine to a DC12V battery, then turn on the power switch so the detector starts working.

Locate The Leak

After smoke fills the pipe, check the leak points visually. Use a headlamp if extra visibility is needed.

    The smoke engine is super. In the head above the carbon options that we sell! Russian analog requires a compressor and at the same time costs about 7 thousand. And this seller has taken €8,400. The package is rich. There is everything for the Box to work with any car! Ordered from Russia fast shipping and so ordinary, but the IML to Murmansk has arrived 1 out of 4 days! Above all, greetings! With this service I immediately ordered a battery tester!

    I used the tester for the evap system diagnoses after the dealer did two leak checks. They gave me no useful info and replaced a solenoid needlessly.
    This tested has a built in air compressor and produces good smoke. It’s plug and play. I found 3 evap leaks in about 2 minutes.

    Great product, every BMW diy mechanic needs this tool. Accurately identified vacuum leaks on several vehicles so far. A MUST have. Get yourself a bottle of baby oil (a recommended smoke producing fluid) while you¡¯re waiting for it to be delivered. You won¡¯t be disappointed.

  25. Nicolette Langosh

    30ml oil bottle is specified in the packing list.
    However, no oil is provided, only an empty 100ml bottle is provided.
    So I have to go somewhere to find the right oil and I can’t use the tool as planned.

    What I don¡¯t like about it is that is the switch that looks like it¡¯s all of it of the actual power switch for smoke or no smoke Is it there¡¯s no gauge can¡¯t tell what type of pressure is in the system I wish it would stop at a set psi but overall it¡¯s the terrible machine it does help fine vacuum leaks and evap leaks as long as u know what your doing obviously

    It is a great smoke machine, produces strong smoke and give a a lot of accessories to get the job done. However, the item arrived defective; the power switch was not working. When connected to the battery terminal, it was always on. Overall, it is a good item to own for troubleshooting EVPA issues.

    Perfect! It¡¯s exactly what I need!
    I¡¯m trying to make one myself from other examples in YouTube. The cost for what I want is not much better than this unit. I rather to spend time fixing car than tinkering with my DIY smoke machine. Another thing, I may end up with a tin can or a strange plumber look device in my garage. All of the fittings came with this unit are hard to source.
    From other reviews, this unit needs oil so it will not work right out of the box. The switch is only turning off the smoke making. It doesn¡¯t turn off the internal pump, so it¡¯s not broken. It maybe an intention of the designer. I like it to turn off all in my opinion as well.

    This smoke machines gets 10 Stars for me, came on time, was packaged nicely, everything had separate zip-lock bags. I said I wanted to definitely write a review because I have brought things off Walmart that I was not pleased with, things will say New and be old and dirty. But for this here like whoa, self-explanatory instruction, the video online was clear and understanding where the actual directions wasn’t needed. I’ve been having a P0171 & P0174 for over 4 months been unable to drive my car cause the car kept shutting off and most of the time wouldn’t start at all. I’m very inclined on automotive, I knew it was dealing with something fuel related just couldn’t find the problem, ran compression test, and everything up and under the sun and nothing was showing any outside results. I even made a smoke machine and still couldn’t resolve my issue, so I decided to break down and buy a smoke machine and now I wish I would’ve down this 4 months ago. This Smoke machine is amazing, easy to hook up, has a built-in air pump, can use baby oil which is very inexpensive, doesn’t need an outlet to turn on, just connect the positive cable to the positive post on your cars battery and connect the ground cable to a ground connection on your vehicle, connect the cord to the device and connect the flow hose as well, pour some baby oil in and Wham, Bam, & Thank You Mam. I mean in less than 5 seconds you’ll start seeing a stream of a lot of smoke. Came with various adapters and rubber plugs, once I hooked it up to my throttle body, cooling system, valve covers. It produced such smoke that everything that had a leak became so visible, where tons of smoke was coming out…Right off the rip my fuel pressure regulator was clouded with smoke, my Map sensor was leaking, and my oil dipstick had tones of smoke running out, other than those things I had a completely seal motor. so today I put on a used Fuel regulator, Map sensor, and dip stick that I got from the junk yard just to see if it’ll make a difference before spending big bucks and turned the key and started right up. Been driven all day hitting those extra speeds, and it couldn’t of came at a better time cause just yesterday 4/14/2022 my SUV transmission started slipping and struggled to get home. so yeah, this smoke machines gets 10 Stars from me. IT DOES THE JOB WAY AND BEYOND. So, I’ve ordered all new O.E.M parts even though the junk yard parts are working, I rather have new ones on there cause back when the car shut down I was on the road heading back from a trip and that was no fun with the car shutting off. Made that trip home take close to three days, rain, cold weather, cars flying by…This Smoke Machine Is A Beast, Worth every Penny spent

    I liked the design, the bad thing is that it does not specify which liquid to use but it worked

    I got this initially to find exhaust leaks, but I am sure to use it in the future for other leaky auto systems. Worked great to quickly show where my exhaust needed sealing. I installed a 15 psi gauge I had with a tee in the smoke hose for pressure leak readings (rises to 11 psi with no leaks). Draws 4.5 amps with switch on 1 (smoke) and .5 amps with switch on 0 (air only). For exhaust tests, I found it easier to connect to a 12v booster pack, rather than car battery to power this. Pays for itself in saved mechanic bills, if you do your own auto repair. Comes with many hose adapters, for many applications. This device appears to be a quality build and runs quietly – time will tell.

    Good little machine. Costs less to own than having the diagnostic done at a shop.

    My 2006 Cobalt 2.2 had a p0171 code, was able to find the problem with the smoke pump .
    Smoke came out from the injectors seats .
    The O-Rings in the injector seats were shut, replaced the 4 O-Rings and problem solved.

    Be gentle. The parts inside are cheap and brake easily. But it works well and price is affordable.

    I can definitely recommend this product. I had an issue with a fifty year old Mercedes and this smoke machine helped me find the exact source of vacuum issues.

    I should have bought one of these years ago. We have an old Honda (1999) and and old Mini Cooper (2005) both have had difficulty passing the yearly emissions tests. I hooked this smoke generator to the emissions system on the Honda and was seeing smoke coming from all the leaks within just a couple minutes. Paid about 120.00 but I saved at least that in finding and fixing the emissions myself. It was just a rubber O ring and a couple hard to find split hoses.

    I purchased this on Prime Day recently because it was heavily discounted. Overall, if you follow the directions it will make plenty of smoke. I used lightweight mineral oil that is used for lubrication on a Sewing Machine, cutting oil or baby oil. There are adapters included but they are mostly for plugging things. Here are some things to know:

    1) A 100 ml bottle is included for filling the oil. DO NOT fill this up. There is a very tiny sticker on the machine that my middle aged eyes can’t read that tells you to limit the fill to 20 ml. If you do this, you will get plenty of smoke. If you do like me and fill the bottle, you will get no smoke. I appreciate the bottle but it would have been nice to have a mark on the bottle or at least instruction in the printed document.

    2) There are more adapters than I can count. But most of them are “plug type” and are usless for inserting the smoke. Be prepared to get inventive with some electrical tape.

    3) The hoses and wires are too short if you want to power the machine and inject from the rear of a car. It is fine for insertion under the hood. I ended up purchasing several lengths of tube and some hose clamps to get to the rear.

    4) The machine will drain your battery if you use it for very long. I used it for about 10 – 15 minutes and had a deeply discharged battery that would not start my car. They should have put an under voltage lockout on the device so you do not discharge the battery. Best to watch the voltage manually with a meter if you use this machine for very long.

    This machine is fine for the backyard DYIer like myself. It works and makes smoke but I am a little disapointed with the short wires, tubes and lack of ability to inject. With the Prime Day discount I will probably keep it. Had I paid full price, I would be much more disapointed.

    Very well built, package contains all the necessary equipment to work immediately (except the oil of course..!!). If you know what you are doing you don’t need any bigger model at 95% of your issues in the workshop or on site.

    This works well. The price point is very good. I read one review talking about the smell of the babby oil, and they were right! You really need to use this outside and not in your garage. The smell lasts for weeks and weeks, lol. This isn’t the units fault, just inherent. I definitely recommend this product for the home mechanic.

    Add 20 ml of smoke oil, connected to the battery power, immediately out of the smoke, the airbag can be connected to the air intake hose, and then the smoke conduit is connected, the smoke quickly from the location where there is a leak out, very convenient.

    Excellent. Everything arrived complete. Everything works. I tried it to find a jerk on a cold engine and rich mixture, and the smoke generator immediately showed a leak from under the throttle valve gasket. Quick and convenient, so you don’t have to look at half the car.
