Field of application:
Easy Leak detector is primarily designed to search for leaks in the intake and exhaust systems of
vehicles with diesel or petrol engines. The device can emit a dense smoke, which clearly reveals
bad sealing, cracks, and chinks, which allow air to leave and enter, as well as leaking gaskets and
joints.
However, in fact, you can imagine lots of different places and systems where it would be possible
to detect leaks using smoke. It is important to make sure that the smoke can enter the places
suspected of leaks. The intake manifold may be equipped with a throttle valve, which to some
extent will prevent the smoke from reaching the manifold front chamber. Even though the system
is particularly efficient in detecting leaks in hoses and pipe joints, it can also be used for detecting
clogged pipes and passages in cylinder heads and other passages that may be clogged due to car-
bon deposits or the like, or for revealing leaking control valves that are supposed to be completely
leak tight. Usually, it is useless searching for small leaks in highly pressurised systems such as
A/C, cooling systems, or in the turbo side. The turbo side may sometimes have a higher pressure
than the machine is able to produce.
You can also profitably search for cracks in castings using smoke, but you have to be aware, how-
ever, that some cracks in castings will not appear in neither cold nor hot conditions.
In some fields of application, it may be necessary to fit a diagnostic tool in order to check various
systems such as EGR, solenoid valves and many more.
Typical components where Easy Leak detector can show its worth to the full:
• Manifold system
• Crankcase vent system
• Air filter box
• Fuel tank ventilation system
• Manifold gaskets
• Intercooler pipes and hoses
• Vacuum system
• Exhaust joints
• Brake booster
• Bodywork joints
• Weather strips
• Window rail rubber
• Cable bushings
Instructions in case of bodywork leaks:
The device can be used for searching for leaks by windows and doors, which cause noise inside
the car. When using the device for this kind of search, put the cabin blower on max. Do not use
recirculation for this purpose during leak search. When smoke slowly emits from the test hose of
the device, keep the mouthpiece close to the bodywork joints, weather strips, window rail rubber
etc. Always perform search for bodywork leaks on the outside of the bodywork, never use the de-
vice inside the car. Perform the test indoor in a room with no draught.
