ANCEL S1000 Diagnostic Leak Detector. AKA, A Smoke Machine. The Tool Is Needed To Diag Evap Codes.

I picked up this unit to aid in diagnosing "Gas Cap Codes" an entire class of OBD codes that relate to the evap system on modern cars. While this tool is perfect for that task, it it also perfectly suited for smoking intakes, engines, and exhausts to find vacuum leaks, or air leaks there as well. Modern cars have very acurate sensors that get confused when ANY unmetered air enters or exits without passing though the normal route. These tiny leaks create check engine lights that can be nearly impossible to diagnose without a tool like this.
I review a lot of products, and have been pleased with nearly all of them, but I am not joking when I say that this tool works as well and feels as well built as the 3K Blue Point machine that I bought some years ago. I'd say to mid-level techs and beyond, yes, you need this tool to help with diagnostics.

That is a cool little Gizmo!!!
As the owner of a Type 2 VW (Bus). This little box could be a life saver. One of the scariest problems VW Buses had, were fires caused by gas leaks in the evap lines from the gas tank. Can't wait for the more indepth video!
As always thank you for making these great videos!!

These things are great for finding the smallest air leaks on your car. I'll be working on the second video this weekend.

Thanks for the review, I just ordered one for delivery on Monday the 18th. All in it was $148 with tax. Used your discount code and there was a coupon on Amazon also for $60 off total. My son's 2003 Grand Am has a p0171 and runs pretty rough when cold so I already have one to try it on.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks - Amazon reviews can be unreliable. This review helps with a real review. Extra points for testing on a Volvo Wagon (Modern Day Nordic Warship).

Great demonstration Erik, not only did you showcase the tool, but also diagnosed an issue you weren't even looking for. You just got two for the price of one.
Can you tell us what the Volvo was doing or wasn't that you had plans in the future to try to figure out? Was the car hard to start, ran rough,stalled or sputtered upon acceleration?, That was an intake manifold wasn't it?.
Providing I was a mechanic, you proved the tool was a valuable one and would definitely purchase one.
Anyways, thanks for the demonstration, Take care!

Thank you for this review! I'd like to try this tool. My car has P0455 code which is major evap leak. I hope to see the source of the leak with this tool...

[@FarpointFarms]

that is what it is used for- good luck

[@yolo-cars]

@@FarpointFarms I already got it from Amazon but I forgot to buy an oil. I hope tomorrow I'll be able to run some tests with this device...
