The rupture of the vacuum hose will cause the mixture to be too thick, the idle speed will increase, the hot car will not start well, the engine will surge during acceleration, the fuel consumption will increase significantly, and the exhaust pipe will emit black smoke. 2. Blocking will cause the idle speed to drift, and the idle speed is easy to stall. 3. Air leakage in the vacuum tube will cause the engine to run weakly Review: Not working in this protect - Smoke not come out , volume button damage . 12000 money cheating me in autool company Review: Pequeño gigante - Funciona muy bien, super facil de usar , viene con todo y sus accesorios , muy recomendable! ## Features - 【Why Need It】For example: 1. The rupture of the vacuum hose will cause the mixture to be too thick, the idle speed will increase, the hot car will not start well, the engine will surge during acceleration, the fuel consumption will increase significantly, and the exhaust pipe will emit black smoke. 2. Blocking will cause the idle speed to drift, and the idle speed is easy to stall. 3. Air leakage in the vacuum tube will cause the engine to run weakly - 【No Air Pump】Note: AUTOOL SDT103 does not have an internal air pump. External air supply is required for use. Connect shop air supply, connect 12V vehicle power, introduce shop air to the AUTOOL SDT103 fuel leak tester, turn the Flow Dial anti-clockwise to open the air flow, switch on the power at the back of the unit, then AUTOOL SDT103 smoke machine automotive will start to generate smoke - 【External Flow Meter】You can easily control the air pressure, because the air pressure of each pipe in the car is different. If the air pressure is too high, the pipe will be damaged, and if the air pressure is too low, the leak will not be detected. Therefore, the flow meter is very important to protect your detection system more effectively. Make testing safer - 【EVAP Detection】American cars that began production in 1996 are equipped with EVAP service ports; in most American cars, the EVAP service port is usually located in the engine compartment, but the EVAP service port of some special models may be located in other locations. Open the plastic cover of the EVAP service port, then use the spool wrench to remove the check valve clockwise, then install the EVAP service port adapter, and introduce smoke from the port into the EVAP leak detection system - 【Wide Testing Range】The smoke leak detector AUTOOL SDT103 can do smoke testing of multiple systems, such as EVAP systems, Intake Systems, Cooling / EGR /Exhaust Systems, Crankcase Systems, Engine Airtightness, Vacuum Leaks, Low Pressure Turbo leaks.Applicable cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, off-road vehicles, ATVs, light trucks and speedboats boats. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B0BGB41DLK | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,447 in Automotive (See Top 100 in Automotive) #21 in Automotive Fuel Leak Detectors | | Brand | AUTOOL | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,019) 4.4 out of 5 stars | | Date First Available | 27 November 2022 | | Item Model Number | SDT103 | | Item Weight | 2.13 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | AUTOOL | | Manufacturer Part Number | SDT103 | | Model | Automotive Smoke Machine | | Product Dimensions | 22 x 31 x 31 cm; 2.13 kg | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AUTOOL - **Style:** Classic - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Item weight:** 2.13 Kilograms - **Alarm:** Audible ## Images ![AUTOOL Automotive Smoke Machine (SDT-103) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YpFef6TvL.jpg) ![AUTOOL Automotive Smoke Machine (SDT-103) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QvqLwMhsL.jpg) ![AUTOOL Automotive Smoke Machine (SDT-103) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EXi1D2UnL.jpg) ![AUTOOL Automotive Smoke Machine (SDT-103) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VSE8mwdoL.jpg) ![AUTOOL Automotive Smoke Machine (SDT-103) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ovvpp2MmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what do i use as an air source?** A: The air compressor can provide the air source. **Q: Does it come with smoke fluid?** A: Thank you for your attention to our AUTOOL smoke tester, very sorry, our smoke tester does not contain cigarette oil, because it belongs to flammable liquid, transportation is more complicated, so you need to buy it separately, causing you inconvenience, we are very sorry, if you have any questions about the goods, please feel free to contact us, we are always here for you. **Q: What types of oil can be used? Mineral oil, baby oil, castor oils? Does it come with any oil? How long will it blow smoke with the 10ml that you add?** A: Does not come with oil. There are several types of oil you can use based on what you are doing. I would not normally try any of those choices. For anything to do with a car you should go to a car parts place and get smoke machine oil. **Q: What size Air source quick connection does it take** A: 1/4 industrial fitting, not automotive. I wasn’t able to replace it with and automotive one but you can add some adapters to it so it connects to your hose with automotive coupler. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Not working in this protect *by V***A on 4 December 2025* Smoke not come out , volume button damage . 12000 money cheating me in autool company ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pequeño gigante *by A***T on 12 December 2023* Funciona muy bien, super facil de usar , viene con todo y sus accesorios , muy recomendable! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised *by K***Y on 14 May 2024* This review is for the Autool Model SDT103 Smoke Leak Detector. I did a lot of research before buying this product. I opted for this unit, which has no internal compressor, because it has less parts to break and I have my own compressor. (It uses almost no air; just a trickle.) I also liked that it has flow control and a flow indicator. Please be aware, I've only used this unit one time, so I can't comment on its long term reliability. I read the instructions before using it, and the instructions are pretty well written, and describe how to operate it without a whole lot of difficult-to-understand broken English. The unit is pretty simple, so its operation is straightforward. I bought a little 3 ounce bottle of baby oil from CVS for a couple bucks. I put 20mL into the unit before turning it on (the instruction booklet said 10mL, but there were two stickers on the actual unit that said 20mL, so I used 20mL). I let the air flow through it for a minute or two before I turned on the smoke switch. The smoke took about 30 seconds to start coming out, and maybe 2 minutes before it got really thick. I used this for diagnosing a vacuum leak in the intake of my Ford Ranger. The smoke was nice and thick and was easily seen (see picture). The packaging is very good on this product. All accessories are in separate ziplock bags, very organized, very neat. All the accessories (hoses, wires, oil bottle, etc) seem to be very high quality. I was expecting a one-time use throw-away item, but this seems to be well made and has quality accessories. I'm surprised to hear that some people write reviews complaining about the smell of the unit after using it. It burns oil to generates smoke. The smoke smells like burning oil. Why would someone expect this unit to not smell like burned oil? This product saved me a lot of money going to a mechanic to diagnose the problem in my car. I'm also going to use it in the future to find exhaust leaks, and leaks in other sealed systems in my cars. I'm not a mechanic, but I do almost all the work on my cars and I think this will come in handy in the future. I recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smoke Machine Automotive Leak Detector,Evap Vacuum Smoke Diagnostic Tester,Pipeline Fuel Leakage Detector Compatible with 12V Vehicles - Smoke Fluid Solution for Automotive Smoke Machine Testing - Made in USA - 8oz Liquid Smoke Refill Designed for Automotive Testing - EVAP, Vacuum, Fuel, Intake, Exhaust, Turbo Systems & Super Chargers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/507804177-autool-automotive-smoke-machine-sdt-103](https://www.desertcart.no/products/507804177-autool-automotive-smoke-machine-sdt-103) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
