Review on OURANTOOLS Automotive EVAP Machine Leak Detector: Efficient DC12V Auto Fuel Pipe Leak Tester for Cars, Motorcycles, and Trucks by Nick Singh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Absolutely loved how well it works

This smoke machine gets 10 stars for me, arrived on time, was well packaged, everything was in individual zip bags. I said I want to write a review because I brought things from Amazon that I didn't like, they will say "new" and be old and dirty. But for here how wow the instructions are self explanatory, the online video was clear and easy to follow where actual instructions are not needed. I had P0171 and P0174 for over 4 months, couldn't drive because the car kept stalling and wouldn't start most of the time. I'm very car addicted, I knew it was something to do with fuel, just couldn't find the problem, did a compression test and all in the sun and nothing showed any outward results. I even built a smoke machine and still couldn't solve my problem so I decided to buy a smoke machine and now I wish I had done it 4 months ago. This smoke machine is amazing, easy to connect, has a built-in air pump, can use baby oil, which is very cost-effective, no need an outlet to turn on, just connect the positive cable to your car's positive terminal. Battery and connect the ground wire to your vehicle's ground terminal, connect the wire to the unit and also connect the umbilical hose, pour in some baby oil and Wham, Bam, & Thank You Mam. What I mean is that you will see a lot of smoke flowing in less than 5 seconds. Came with various adapters and rubber plugs once connected to the throttle body, cooling system and valve covers. It produced such smoke that anything that had a leak became so visible that tons of smoke came out. Immediately after the rupture, my fuel pressure regulator was clouded with smoke, my map sensor was leaking and my oil dipstick had tons of smoke. came out, otherwise I had a completely sealed engine. So today I put in a used fuel regulator, map sensor and oil dipstick I got from a junkyard just to see if it would make a difference before I spent a lot of money, turned the key and fired. I drove all day and picked up those extra speeds and it was just perfect because just yesterday, April 14, 2022, my SUV's transmission started slipping and was struggling to get home. So yes, this smoke machine gets 10 stars from me. IT DOES THE JOB AND MORE. So I ordered all new OEM parts, although the junkyard parts work I have new ones there because when the car stalled I was on the road coming back from a trip and it wasn't fun when the car turned. The journey home took almost three days, rain, cold, cars flying by. This smoke machine is a beast worth every penny spent.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
