Ancel S3000 Smoke Machine - Anyone Used one?

[Andrew J]

As above really, has anyone bought one of the above smoke machines to check for leaks? I've been quoted £100-115 to do a smoke test by a local indy and for a few beer tokens more, I could get my own machine. Anyone used one of these in anger?

Interested to hear any thoughts on the matter.

Fairly simple. Add oil and connect pipe to intake and make sure you get a good seal. Turn on and look for smoke

Watched an old Wheeler Dealers episode recently and Ed China was looking for leaks in their doer upper and rented a smoke machine! May still be able to rent one without having to buy?

Tried it and it works a treat.

Wow this looks fairly rudimentary. I'm half tempted to give that a go. £15-20 is a big saving compared to £130!
