Combustion Leak Tester - Uview

Specifications

The Uview Combustion Leak Tester, model 560000, is designed for precise engine diagnostics. It weighs 3.365 lbs and measures 17 x 13 x 4.5 inches. This manually operated tester includes a dual-chamber unit, 16 oz (480 ml) of tester fluid, and comprehensive operating instructions. It is universally compatible with both gasoline and diesel engines.

Key Features

• Dual-Chamber Design: Engineered with a dual-chamber system, this tester enhances accuracy by effectively filtering out alkaline particles that can cause false readings in conventional methods. The first chamber absorbs alkaline particles, allowing only air and CO2 to reach the second, upper chamber for precise testing.
• Color-Changing Fluid Indicator: The included tester fluid changes color to provide clear evidence of combustion gas presence. For gasoline engines, the fluid shifts from blue to yellow, and for diesel engines, it changes from blue to green, confirming a leak.
• Combustion Gas Detection: Specifically designed to detect combustion gases, primarily carbon dioxide, that leak into an engine's cooling system.
• Broad Compatibility: Works effectively on a wide range of gasoline and diesel engines, offering versatile application across different vehicle types.
• Quality Assurance: Manufactured using ISO 9001 approved methodologies, ensuring consistent quality and reliable performance.

Applications

The Uview Combustion Leak Tester is an essential tool for diagnosing internal combustion engine issues. It is applied to:

• Identify combustion gas leaks from head gaskets, cylinder heads, and engine blocks in various vehicles.
• Perform diagnostic checks on cars, trucks, and other water-cooled internal combustion engines.
• Troubleshoot engines exhibiting symptoms such as unexplained coolant loss, overheating, or abnormal white exhaust smoke.
• Conduct preventative maintenance to detect potential engine problems before they escalate.

Benefits

• Accurate Leak Detection: Provides reliable and precise identification of combustion leaks, preventing misdiagnosis and ensuring targeted repairs. The dual-chamber system significantly reduces the risk of false positives.
• Cost-Effective Diagnostics: Offers an economical and fast method to determine the presence of combustion leaks, potentially saving significant costs associated with extensive engine teardowns and unnecessary part replacements.
• Engine Longevity: Early detection of combustion leaks protects vital engine components from damage caused by corrosive exhaust gases in the cooling system, helping to prevent catastrophic engine failure and extend engine life.
• Versatile Diagnostic Tool: Its universal compatibility with both gasoline and diesel engines makes it a valuable diagnostic instrument for a broad spectrum of automotive and heavy-duty applications.
• Simplified Operation: Designed for ease of use, allowing both professional technicians and experienced home mechanics to perform accurate tests efficiently.
