Speaking as someone who has been using flammable materials to find vacuum leaks for over 40 years I have seen my share of flash fires.I always thought it a necessary evil but it is not the safest way, I recently found out. The safest way is to generate and inject smoke into the intake under mild pressure and see where it comes out(with the engine off). Just last night I saw a guy confirming bent valves with the same method by setting the cam lobes to fully closed and injecting smoke into the spark plug hole.Genius! You learn something new every day.

Love your idea! Give you another idea. You can do this on a cold engine not running. Get a fog machine. Attach a PVC pipe and hose to the machine. Connect it to the brake booster vacuum line and you will see the smoke coming out. A friend of mine was struggling to find a vacuum leak. He had been working on it for a few hours. We used this method and found it within a minute.

As a precaution with rubber hoses and fittings is use a 1/4 spray bottle of gasket leak sealer mixed with 50% mixed coolant and 50% distilled water.

Tried Mapp Gas (it was what I had handy at the time) and put it right on where I later identified the leak coming from audibly using a section of pipe to isolate the source and it just didn't seem to react with increased revs in a struggling engine. The leak is huge and you can hear it hissing bigtime. If you can hear the vacuum leak hissing, you can isolate it with a section of pipe put up to your ear. You could probably do the same with a section of hose as well.

As far as I have understood, your 1 should be either: 1) pressurize the system from shop air (regulated of course) and use soapy water, or 2) pur loads of clean water into the engine compartment (nor spray bottle, pour directly from bottle)... The first will bubble on your leaks and works with a shut off engine, the second works at any temperature. As for water in the engine compartment, ask yourself what happens when driving after someone else in the rain. :) Besides these points I only agree with your points for 2 and 3.

A home-made smoke machine (including a flow meter & a a small battery powered aquarium pump) can be made on the cheap to provide low positive pressure for visually finding vacuum leaks and if one uses glycerol instead of mineral/baby oil, it becomes both safe, easy to use, and non-toxic to breath the smoke, plus with or without smoke, one can then more effectively use the soapy spray method. As a bonus, you won't need a fire extinguisher with that setup.

The best and safest way is the smoke method. You connect a smoke machine (can be rented from most auto parts stores) to the engine through the intake by the air filter. And it's all done while the engine is off. The smoke will come out where the leak or leaks are. No worries about a fire or damage to any components on or in the engine. Plus this is the method auto technicians use. And it is more precise.

I agree with the reasoning. Propane has and ignition temp of 900° to 1100° that's about 200° hotter than any thing in the engine bay other than a stray spark. On a hand held propane torch, you have a valve to cut the fuel supply to an accidental fire. Or you can remember since you are holding the torch in your hand already, just remove it from the vehicle. Flammable liquids ignite at common engine temperatures, and you can not control or remove the burning fluid if it ignites.

I use only propane ,contrary to what some have said it is the safest way. Propane may flash over if it does ignite but it is brief and easy to control. I also use spray lacquer to seal some leaks. Lacquer drys almost instantly and will give a permanant seal to leaks in places like a warped throttle body and Lacquer doesn't damage rubber.It sure beats spending over a half a day taking off all the mess on top of todays engines to fix the leak?
@rh10117 ай бұрын
The propane method is pretty good, however if you have vacuum leak from something like a low torque gasket or seal you won’t notice an RPM change. That requires a scan so you can watch fuel trim for change at the same time your testing with the propane. The best thing to use is a smoke machine. Also if you’re using propane method on a carbureted vehicle then the RPM decrease when you hit your leak with the propane.

As for the soap and water technique. To make it work you hook the output of a shop vacuum to the TB and open the throttle wide. This will pressurized the intake system. Then spray on the soap and water solution. The outflow of are from a leak will show bubbles like a hole in a pressurized tire. This technique has many advantages: Very safe - no fire extinguishers needed. Shows exactly where the leak is occurring. Done while the engine is cold so parts dont have a chance to heat up and seal the leak. If you are worried about getting water getting on electrical connections, dont worry about it - all the connections are IP67/68 rated for water ingress, and a low pressure spray will not cause *any* issue.

I've used it to test fuel pumps as well. I learned to not stomp the gas pedal while injecting starting fluid cause its prone to backfire with a flame. I'm curious if this method would be any different when trying to test for a bad fuel pump. Curious if you tried it and if you pressed the gas pedal while doing it. I'm more then sure it would be the same but with a more explosive reaction due to it being a vapor then a liquid fuel.
