Have you ever considered just how small a leak the 0.020-inch test represents? And to easily and quickly locate the source of the leak takes more than just one approach. In our August webinar, G. Truglia and I share tips on various techniques you can apply to make finding that small leak a lot easier!

Have you ever considered just how small a leak the 0.020” test represents? And to easily and quickly locate the source of the leak takes more than just one approach. In our August webinar, G. Truglia and I share tips on various techniques you can apply to make finding that small leak a lot easier!

For example, do you know how to use the bar gauge on your smoke machine? For that matter, do you know how to properly use the machine? Adding too much smoke in an attempt to locate a problem can actually ruin the canister! If you can tell by the machine that there is a leak present, but you don’t see smoke, do you know what to do next?

Watch the webinar and you will!

In addition to helping you master the smoke machine, we also show you optional methods for leak detection including ultrasonic leak detection, using your 5-gas to locate a leak and a unique tool you may have heard about – the Automotive Test Solution’s “Bullseye” leak detection system. We also cover different EVAP system designs and why your testing process needs to mimic the process used by the ECM.

This nearly 3-hour webcast is as close to being in the shop with us as we can make it. The advantage? You can watch it as often as you like and we are always available to answer your questions!

So what are you waiting for? Check out the EVAP webinar here.
