vac leak finder idea
Hey guys,
I had an idea and wanted to run it past you all and see what you think:
(Also, if this has been discussed, please excuse.)
I think we can all agree that finding vacuum leaks is a big pain in the butt. And smoke machines made for this cost crazy money ($600 and up!). I've been thinking of instead using a Fog machine like you would find at guitar center. The only variable i can think of is the fog fluid. It can't be anything that can deposit any water in the engine or it will cause problems. What are your ideas on this?
Again, sorry if this was discussed already or if i'm in the wrong forum.

A plain old cigarette, or one of those punks you get for free with your order at the fireworks stand, (not the 2-legged kind) or even a stick of incense, works pretty good and is a whole lot cheeeeeeeeeper.
