Why Choose SmokeAuto
The Ultimate Diagnostic Advantage
Stop wasting hours manually inspecting cracked hoses and spraying combustible fluids around hot engines. The SmokeAuto Pro is a professional-grade 12v automotive smoke leak detector engineered to help UK mechanics and serious enthusiasts trace hard-to-find leaks with pinpoint accuracy. By injecting thick, highly visible mineral smoke into closed systems, you can visually identify faults in seconds, dramatically reducing diagnostic time and eliminating the guesswork that leads to unnecessary parts replacement.
Built-In Pump & Ultimate Portability
Unlike traditional, bulky smoke machines that require you to tether to a workshop air compressor, our unit features a powerful, integrated air pump. Simply connect the heavy-duty alligator clips directly to the vehicle's 12V battery, fill with standard baby oil or mineral oil, and you are ready to test. This self-contained design makes it the perfect tool for mobile mechanics, trackside repairs, or crowded workshop bays.
Multi-System Diagnostic Capability
Designed for versatility, this unit is safe and effective for testing a wide array of vehicle systems. Accurately diagnose EVAP emission failures, intake manifold leaks, exhaust system cracks, turbocharger leaks, and cabin sealing issues. Built to strict UKCA and CE standards, it provides a safe, low-pressure smoke output that will not damage sensitive vehicle sensors or internal components, giving you complete confidence on every job.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant piece of kit. I used this to trace a P0442 EVAP code on a customer's Golf that had been driving me mad. The smoke output is thick and instant. Paid for itself on the first job.
The fact that it has a built-in pump is a game changer for my mobile mechanic business. I just clip it to the 12V battery and I'm ready to go. No need to drag a loud compressor around.
I restore classic cars as a serious hobby. Finding vacuum leaks on older carburettor setups used to take hours of spraying carb cleaner. This machine highlights split hoses in seconds. Excellent build quality.
A very solid diagnostic tool. The smoke is dense and the adapters are high quality. My only minor gripe is that filling it with mineral oil can be a bit messy the first time until you get the hang of the funnel.
I was looking at the ANCEL models, but decided to go with SmokeAuto for the UK warranty and support. Very glad I did. The metal casing feels robust enough for a busy workshop environment.
Works perfectly as a pipeline smoke leak detector for checking turbo plumbing. Finds pinhole leaks easily. I just wish the 12V power cable was about a metre longer for larger vans.
Incredible value for money. If you are a mechanic still trying to find intake leaks without a smoke machine, you are wasting your own time. Delivery was next day as promised.
