Where did you hook up the smoke connector? to the purge line going to the engine intake manifold or to the purge line goin to back to the charcoal canister and gas tank?
Females have special smell capabilities, wished my wife or daughter were around when doing evap repairs!
No rude comments ! 🤣🤣
Thanks for your time! And did the new gas filler fitting fix the problem?
Manometer, you should use THC concentrates in your smoke machine.
I went on Amazon and priced your new toy. $875.00?! Wow! I found a video on how to make your own for about $25 which is good for the home mechanic, but I realize your a professional and you demand the best. That's some collection of scan tools you have, it's like anything else their obsolete before you know it. BTW great video as usual.
Great job
Not very impressed. Weak.
Just slap some jb weld and duct tape on that filler neck to fix it.
Where'd you get that evap valve dong depressor tool instead of the junk one that came with the hole in it
I seen the smoke at the right of the filler neck. I suspect mines bad too,so it's cool I seen this.
Even without a smoke machine you can tell that rusty pipe is falling apart 😂💨💨💨
I use baby oil in mine
So let me ask you something if you don't have the machine to seal off new part you put.would you still be able to do the smoke test if so how would you do it please let me know thanks
Ella es tu esposa
I put a new vent valve but engine light still keeps coming on. Mechanic says it just needs a hard reset on codes
Train delivers Brake Clean supply. 🤣
your so lucky to share miss o life
The oil is mineral oil if anyone is wondering.
A $700 Tool to find a Rusty Pipe……Maybe Baby Oil…..Train bringing Smoke Fluid!
Is it safe to use this smoke machine on Evap Leak ? I heard that since EVAP system is closed and it if smoke comes in contact with Gas vapors in evap system it may cause explosion, so always need to do outside garage in open just in case. I need to check my P0456 small evap leak, pls advise.
is he using shop air, or do you have to use nitrogen?
Pfft, that smoke machine is probably more American than that SIlverado 😛
They're probably using cheap baby (mineral) oil like all the homemade smokers.
Great video bro. Keep up the good work.
I can see the smoke very well 👍
For anyone wondering, that machine costs $850
$5.00 fish pump, old coffee can tubing in, tubing out, ignite incense.turn on pump
we have a smoke machine
They want $800 for this, I can make one for less than $40, sure it will only make smoke but that's all most people need
Does the system have to be closed to use a smoke machine?
Good trick with the laser!!! i would not have thought of that!
This is not the one you used on your latest videos? What gives.
What a rust bucket… Emissions is the last problem for it.
You have such an awesome wife. Wholesome real and beautiful. Thank the LORD!
Eric, if I may ask what was the estimate you gave your customer for the filler neck replacement? I have a car that I think needs the same repair and want an expert opinion on what I should are looking at. I also have a small evap leak. Unfortunately I don't have the $ for a Ready Smoke ($500) or a Autel Maxisys ($2,500). Thanks for your great videos!
i love ur voice awsome~ 🙂
So you do read the manual and who ever invented that easy intake is making lots of mula
Hi Eric love your show……. just when I think I know enough about an issue to take care of it my self,
something else gets tossed in to the mix. that smoke machine, when back in the day when I was a kid, early 50_s. Lionel had smoke pills / pellets, today they have liquid, it comes
in different fragrance's today. so if you like you can sweeten it up some. your smoke machine.
Block off cocks, gas-hole & suck on the hose… That's some pretty strong language for an auto repair video.. I was waiting for if it isn't leaking don't mess with it " but plug" it if it does… Lol
The homemade ones seem better way better
Smoke machines are a ripoff, just build one out of pvc.
Do the fluids come in pumpkin spice?
I love it . Just can't afford $800. for this.
Super Tech Eric, you make it look so easy, lol, we know better, thanks for the video, good job.
Dang, cars don't have a chance in New York. I never saw a gas door so rusted like on this car. Do they spread salt in the summer too. Geeez Louise. "Whatever they call that thing. You're killing me.
, infrared gun show up pretty good to heat signature it should show a tip dropped in the temperature from the smoke and show up on the screen
Self Made Auto?? Or South Main Auto… ? I swear you are messing with us and you are really saying self made. ☺
