Before I do all the maintenance on my 1996 Ford Econoline E-350 Van, I thought it would be a good idea to smoke-test the intake and the exhaust to see if I have any issues. The exhaust manifold can crack on these engines so I wanted to see if they had any leaks. I also see if there are any other leaks in the entire exhaust system. A Diagnostic smoke machine is an amazing tool that can quickly show you exactly where a leak is if there is any. I also smoke test the intake system to see if there were any leaks there as well. To do this I use the ANCEL S3000 Smoke Leak Detector kit. I show you how to use it, and share my thoughts on it. These diagnostic Smoke test machines are a bit expensive. but they are useful to have when doing diagnostic work on vehicles. I hope this video was useful and thanks for watching!
