Smoke Machine

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The smoke machine generates smoke that is used to detect leaks in the EVAP- system. Follow the instructions that are supplied with the smoke machine to use it and to check for leaks.

Information

To be able to check for leaks in the whole EVAP-system, the connections must be disconnected and the smoke machine must be connected in such a way that the smoke is not stopped by non-return valves or by the EVAP-pump being closed. Two persons should help each other when checking for leaks. One that operates the smoke machine and one that visually checks for leaks.

HINT: To see the smoke easier, use a powerful light with flood lights.

The smoke contains a coloring agent that leaves invisible marks in case of leaks. These marks are seen as small green spots when they are illuminated with UV-light and yellow screened glasses are used for viewing.
