In this video I have a look at a customer's 2013 Chevrolet Silverado with an engine light on for a small EVAP leak. We get to bust out the new Harbor Freight Icon smoke machine and see if there really is a leak. Low and behold there is! Let's have a look.
-Enjoy!

    You know that purge line had at least a small crack for it to break so easily. Thanks for the video!
  • @saw051802
    The comment “you just messed up A Aron” had me rolling
  • "I've never had that happen in my entire life!" The universal lament of men.
  • Eric, ALL BS aside. Your automotive knowledge is truly topnotch. Your clientele is most fortunate to have someone like you to go to for auto fixes. Just stating the obvious.
  • @jbrhel
    9:55. "It's as handy as a 2 pocket t-shirt." Classic.
  • It amazes me every time how you are equipped with the right tool to diagnose the problem. Also the way you keep your tools. Still in the box it was shipped in! Not sitting tangled up on a bench somewhere. You are the model for professionalism.
  • @Xearo101
    When I started turning wrenches twenty years ago EVAP was the most aggravating issues I had to fix. Watching guys like you has taught me the way to understand, diagnose and properly repair these systems. It was all black magic then but now seems like light work. Thank you for doing what you do and keep up the great work.
  • Eric I love it! “Why did I switch? Cause Harbor Freight asked me if I wanted a free one” I love that you are so transparent about everything, along with all of your amazing automotive knowledge, you are def one of my all time favorite channels!
  • I thought a Harbor Freight smoke machine was a checker returning from the pot shop 😂
  • @ert870
    Dipping the plastic line into boiling water also softens it up nicely.
  • A few days ago, I read a post of yours saying you were going through old videos and shorten them. May I please request that you rethink that and hopefully decide not too. Some watching your channel need to see where you are hooking things up and explaining the process as you do it, because we are just trying to help ourselves (nonprofessional). If you want to group into a playlist, that's great. Just give it a second thought for the little folks that are trying to take care of our own when possible. Your good at giving instructions and showing how to find the problem as well as fix it. Please don't cut that info out. Thanks.
  • Wow, this was a feature filled epic. First Eric breaks a car, 😄, then we have not one but two pieces of gear introduced to us. Enjoyable viewing as always, thanks for the videos.
  • @PhillipBailey
    Thanks to you I bought that same Dorman nylon line repair kit several years ago after watching one of your videos. It has saved my ass many times! Highly recommended. Great video.
  • @richard1835
    Glad to be here for a very important video. The common evap leak.
  • Manometers are used in the gas industries and diesel engine diagnostics, HVAC, and anywhere very low pressures are used. In the service we had inches of water and inches of mercury using a u-tube for engine diagnostics but this was many years ago.
  • @ssboot5663
    I wish I lived closer to you shop! Thanks for the videos!
  • Sunday morning SMA! Cool beans, and now I'm in search of a two-pocket T-shirt....
  • @392hemi9
    Congratulations when the tube broke off in your hand, you got to experience that great Gm feeling.
  • @DIYDaveOK
    Always appreciate your videos, Eric! I come away a little smarter than when I arrived!👍
