Mastercool 43060-EV — EVAP Diagnostic Smoke Machine
Professional EVAP Diagnostic Smoke Machine with Built-In Compressor
The Mastercool 43060-EV is a specialised professional diagnostic smoke machine designed specifically for EVAP (Evaporative Emissions) system testing. What sets the 43060-EV apart is its built-in internal compressor, giving you three smoke injection options: internal compressor, shop air, or inert gas. This flexibility makes it ideal for workshops, MOT testing stations, and mobile diagnostic operations.
Important: This machine is specifically designed for EVAP testing with dedicated EVAP adapters and tools. For turbo, intake, and general automotive diagnostics, see the 43060-TB model.
Three Smoke Injection Options - Ultimate Flexibility
The 43060-EV provides unmatched versatility with three smoke injection methods:
- Built-In Internal Compressor: No shop air required - perfect for mobile service or locations without compressed air (max 22 psi)
- Shop Air: Connect to your workshop compressed air system for continuous operation (max 28 psi)
- Inert Gas: Use nitrogen or other inert gases for specialised applications (max 28 psi)
This triple-option design makes the 43060-EV the most flexible EVAP smoke machine in the Mastercool range.

How EVAP Smoke Testing Works
EVAP smoke testing is the fastest, most reliable method for locating leaks in evaporative emissions systems. The 43060-EV introduces dense, non-toxic smoke into the sealed EVAP system under controlled pressure (typically 0.5-1.0 psi). The smoke escapes at leak points, making even the smallest leaks (as small as 0.020") immediately visible. This eliminates guesswork and dramatically reduces diagnostic time compared to traditional pressure decay testing.
