Automotive Vacuum Tester - Does MakerSapce Have One?

[phil_davis]

I need to find a vacuum leak, does MakerSpace have a vacuum test pump similar to the following?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Some pertinent, fairly recent convo about such things here

Automotive "smoke" machine (leak detection)

I gave up trying to find a smoke test machine to borrow. And I didn’t want to use a hand pump and burning plant matter stick as a work-around. So I bought a cheap smoke test machine. More than I wanted to spend, but cheaper than what a shop would charge me to diagnose my evap leak. Assuming it works, I’m open to lending it out if others here need one.

Not sure the mityvac was ever found…

Phil, if you still need one - I can loan you mine on Monday.

Thanks for your generous offer. I think I found the issue yesterday and now I need to drive a hundred miles to make sure the check engine light stays off.

I may reach back out, if my fix didn’t work.

Thanks again,

Phil

Phil,

If you still need a real “smoke machine” let me know.

It would have to be a Sunday in the future as next sunday is out for me.
