Autool SDT208 Car Smoke Leak Detector

Professional EVAP & High-Pressure Diagnostics

The SDT208 stands out for its specialized EVAP Mode, which limits output pressure to 10 psi to prevent damaging the fragile seals and valves of a vehicle’s evaporative emission system. Conversely, its Standard Mode can ramp up to 35 psi, providing the high-pressure smoke necessary to find elusive leaks in turbochargers, intercoolers, and exhaust manifolds that only appear under load.

Key Technical Pillars & Semantic Entities:

• Dual Power Compatibility: Operates on both 12V and 24V battery systems, making it a “one-tool” solution for passenger cars and commercial fleets.

   

• Rapid Smoke Generation: Utilizing forced combustion technology, the unit produces thick diagnostic smoke within 7 to 15 seconds, significantly reducing setup time.

   

• Independent Air & Smoke Switches: Allows technicians to first use pressurized air to check for a pressure drop (confirming a leak exists) before introducing smoke to find the exact location.

   

• Smart Safety Protection: * Overheat Protection: Automatically shuts down if internal temperatures exceed 75°C.

   

  • Pressure Limiting: Prevents system over-pressurization based on the selected mode (EVAP vs. Standard).

     

• Comprehensive Visual Feedback:

  • Pressure Gauge: Displays real-time system pressure to judge the leak size.

     

  • Flow Meter: Adjust the volume of smoke to suit the pipe size.

     

  • Oil Level Gauge: Prevents dry-running of the heating element.

     

Application Range:

Technician’s Note: For the best results, use Liquid Paraffin or Baby Oil. Only 10ml–20ml is required for the initial fill. If the smoke becomes thin during testing, check the oil level gauge; overfilling can clog the heating element and reduce smoke density.
