But WHAT is the required amount of PSI to apply? When I was researching "proper machines" to smoke test with, I found most came with a regulator limiting the pressure to about 1.5 PSI, like on the AutoLine Pro EVAP Smoke Machine Leak Tester – Shop Series https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1that I bought (after returning a similar, but defective clone I had previously ordered).
I tested using my Husky compressor set to 5 PSI, and later tried it set to 15 PSI (which did supply just a bit more smoke), but never found a leak. Maybe I could remove the tester's regulator to supply more smoke, but then I might overpower a seal or two, so I won't.
PS...Amazon has the tester I listed above for just $70 for Black Friday. I paid about $102 a year ago, and that was with an Amazon discount.
