Autool SDT208 Car Smoke Leak Detector
€625.00
The Autool SDT208 Car Smoke Leak Detector is a professional 4-in-1 diagnostic tool designed to pinpoint leaks in automotive piping systems with surgical precision. Featuring a built-in air compressor and dual-pressure modes (Standard & EVAP), it can detect tiny leaks as small as 0.5mm. With its 12V/24V compatibility, it is suitable for everything from motorcycles to heavy-duty trucks. The SDT208 is equipped with three visual gauges for air pressure, flow rate, and oil level, ensuring total control over the diagnostic process while protecting the vehicle’s sensitive components.

Detailed description
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:
| System Test | Common Faults Identified |
| EVAP System | Fuel tank leaks, charcoal canister cracks, gas cap seal failure. |
| Intake/Turbo | Intercooler cracks, throttle body leaks, turbo hose splits. |
| Exhaust System | Manifold cracks, catalytic converter leaks, muffler holes. |
| Cooling System | Radiator weeping, water pump gasket leaks, heater core issues. |
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.
