12V Portable Smoke Leak Detector with Pressure Gauge and Universal Adapter Kit

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built diagnostic tool for identifying leaks in sealed systems across automotive and industrial applications. The device uses visible smoke to pinpoint air and vacuum leaks that would otherwise remain hidden—critical failures that compromise engine power, fuel economy, and system efficiency. The included universal adapter kit covers most common connection points, making this a practical addition to any shop's diagnostic arsenal. Pair this with specialty leak detection fluid to enhance visibility and speed up diagnostics in challenging conditions.

Key Features

• Portable 12V DC Operation: Runs directly from vehicle battery (48W), no external power source required
• Consistent Smoke Output: 20–30 L/min flow rate delivers visible smoke at controlled 0.8 bar working pressure for safe, reliable detection
• Analog Pressure Gauge: Stainless-steel framed dial gauge with dual-scale (kg/cm² and PSI) for real-time monitoring of system pressure
• Universal Adapter Kit: Includes BMW fitting, crankshaft adaptor, three tapered seals (large, medium, small), valve core, and smoke pipe for flexible connections
• Accessory-Complete: Supplied with universal air bag, hose clamp, hook, and power cord—ready for immediate deployment
• Oil-Filled Operation: Uses standard oil, minimizing consumable costs and simplifying refills between jobs

Why Resellers Choose This Product

Diagnostic Confidence: Leaks invisible to the human eye become immediately obvious. This reduces diagnostic time and eliminates guesswork, directly improving shop labor efficiency and customer satisfaction.

High-Margin Service Add-On: Many shops charge €50–€150 per leak detection service. A single detector pays for itself within weeks. Bulk stock creates recurring revenue through fluid refills and accessory upgrades.

Versatile Application: Works on fuel systems, intake manifolds, evaporative emission systems, air conditioning circuits, and industrial pneumatic lines. This breadth keeps it relevant across multiple shop types and reduces inventory risk.

Low Training Barrier: Mechanics understand smoke immediately. No complex operation or calibration needed—straightforward adoption by your customer base.

Bundling Opportunity: Cross-sell with diagnostic fluid and alternative portable detectors to create complete diagnostic packages at higher average order value.

Professional Advantage

The 0.8 bar delivery pressure is deliberately conservative—safe for modern fuel injection systems, vacuum circuits, and emission controls that cannot tolerate aggressive pressure spikes. The analog gauge provides immediate visual feedback, eliminating the need for digital interfaces that can fail or drain batteries. The oil-filled design is cost-effective for high-volume shops; standard motor oil costs pennies per refill compared to proprietary fluids.

Stock this as a core diagnostic tool for shops targeting efficiency-focused customers who value fast, accurate leak location over time-consuming pressure testing methods.
