In this video I make a quick backyard smoke machine and use it to find vacuum leaks on a 2004 F150 with a 4.2L engine. A smoke machine is a great tool to have, because sometimes a small vacuum leak is alot more tougher to find than one would imagine.

. How about mineral oil and a heat source like a sterno under can to create smoke? Thanx for vid
I haven't done it, but I was wondering how a smoke bomb that you can get at your fireworks stands would work. Seems like it would be much safer than an open flame. I used to hold them in my hand as a kid. Plus you could use different colors and I would think that would be much more visible.
-9 or -10 on both ltft indicate vacuum leak???
congratulation
Why not go to firework store and buy small smoke bomb and drop it in.??.. they are cheap and will produce a lot of smoke…
I made one it really works… but what's better to use instead of baby oil
well done bro..but next time use some petrol….way more smoke……i am doing it with petrol…works just perfect!!!!
Great video but I would have suggested putting charcoal and cardboard together would have kept a nice smoke going
A cotton rag should smolder well enough without any baby oil! Keep it to grease your baby.
