How do you find leaks with a smoke machine?
F.A.Q.The LeakMaster generates a thick, long lasting Diagnostic Smoke™ vapor from a non-toxic compound. When this smoke is introduced into the system to be tested, it quickly exits wherever there's a leak - See the smoke and you've found the leak. Additionally, the patented UltraTraceUV? solution when vaporized deposits a fluorescent dye at the exact location of a leak. All you do is use a conventional ultraviolet (UV) light - much like you would an A/C system.
In what other systems can The Smoke Machine be used to detect leaks in besides vacuum and exhaust?
F.A.Q.The smoke Machine can be used to detect leaks in any system where air travels such as: Throttle Bodies & Carburetors, Injector Seals, EGR Systems, Brake Boosters, Under Dash Vacuum & Ducting, Intercoolers & Turbochargers, Idle Motors & Solenoids, Pre-Assembly Component Leak-Testing (such as Cooling Systems, Engine Gaskets, Diaphragms, Many Oil Seals & Gaskets), Pneumatic Door Lock Systems, use our special adapter to find Wind & Water Leaks (around Doors, Windows & Sun.
What type of smoke fluid should I use in my smoke machine?
Tempest Technology CorporationYou should use only Tempest “Rosco” smoke fluid in Tempest “Rosco” Smoke Machines. The earlier Tempest smoke machines (1601, 1801, 9000) were manufactured by Martin and use a Martin specified formula.

What is a smoke machine?
Smoke Machines FAQsA smoke machine is basically an eletro-mechanical unit which produces clouds of smoke on demand. Smoke machines are used in theatres, night clubs, film and television studios, theme parks and other entertainment applications to produce a smoke or fog effect which creates the illusion of fog, steam, smoke from a fire, and many other effects. They are also used to create 'safe smoke' in fire training scenarios, for leak testing of buildings and containers, and air flow in wind tunnels.
My Classy Wrap machine leaks. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
FREQUENTLY ASKEDquestionsYes, most leaks are easily fixed. The main reason that a balloon machine leaks is because the lid gasket is damaged.

If the hissing stops, then something is stuck in your motor, holding the check valve open. Unplug your balloon machine.
Why is smoke machine fluid expensive?
Smoke Machines FAQsManufacturers use very pure pharmaceutical grade ingredients which have an impurity factor of one per billion or similar (very pure) plus the cost of transportation of bulky heavy fluid containers. Hazer fluid is generally more expensive than smoke machine fluid, as hazers aren't yet as common as smoke machines and use a different fluid type.

In fact we did run some simple comparisons with official Motif 1.2.
How does Bar's Leaks Smoke Away work?
Bar's Leaks FAQSmoking is usually caused by gaps in internal engine parts resulting from excess wear. Smoke Away contains viscosity improvers that thicken the oil film filling these gaps. Smoke Away cushions and coats engine parts helping reduce wear and quiet noisy lifters
How does a smoke machine work?
Smoke Machines FAQsA smoke machine, in its simplest terms, is a heating element which gets very hot, through which special fluid is pumped and is vapourised, thereby creating smoke vapour which exits the machine through the nozzle. Electronic circuitry ensures that the heating block in the smoke machine is kept between certain temperatures - too hot and the machine turns into a flame thrower - too cold and it shoots out hot liquid.
Which smoke machine do you recommend?
Smoke Machines FAQsIf you need help in choosing a machine your your specific application, please contact us for friendly advice. They vary widely in features and price and some are more appropriate to certain applications than others.
How do I clean my smoke machine?
Smoke Machines FAQsAfter a while, smoke machines can get clogged up with ash and carbon - a by-product of heating smoke fluid. Smoke fluid can be quite a viscous liquid, so it's almost unavoidable that the machine gets clogged over time. To avoid it happening, follow the instructions you get with your smoke machine with regards to cleaning it. Some suggest a litre of distilled water for every 5 litres of fluid that the machine uses, others suggest water and white vinegar after 40 hours of continuous operation.
What is the difference between a smoke machine and a hazer?
Smoke Machines FAQsSmoke machines create thick white smoke, whereas hazers create an almost invisible haze which can be seen when beams of light strike it. Hazers are often used when the blast of smoke from a smoke machine would be too intrusive. The visibility of smoke created by smoke machines means they're used for special effects, fire training, and all of the other applications mentioned on this site.

It shouldn't be installed where the public can get closer than 50 cm from the smoke from the nozzle. Smoke machines shouldn't be installed directly over the public's head.
Why is it necessary to use an OEM EVAP-approved smoke machine in the vehicle's EVAP system?
F.A.Q.Our licensed STAR EVAP-approved Diagnostic Smoke™ vapor machine technology didn't just pop-up over night. It took literally years of development, in collaboration with OEM-partners; Ford, GM & Chrysler to develop the 'right' technology in order to get the 'right' kind of smoke. These thousands of man-hours of research and testing allowed us to develop the right technology for their EVAP systems. What we ended up with is technology specifically built to major automakers' specifications.
