Product information
What is the Ancel S300 used for?
The Ancel S300 is an auxiliary test equipment used for workshops that want to check for leaks in EVAP, vacuum lines, hoses, and intake systems with smoke. It is not an electronic fault code reader; it supports suspicion of mechanical leaks with visual inspection after fault code and live data.
Vehicle and part coverage
What vehicles is the Ancel S300 used for?
A make-model software list, as found in diagnostic devices, does not apply to this product. Compatibility is determined by the part to be measured, the electrical system, the operating range, the probe or connection method, and the manufacturer's safety limits.
- Vehicle make
- Evaluated not by brand, but by the product's technical measurement or service limit.
- Vehicle model
- Further evaluated if the system to be measured and connection condition are within the technical range.
- Technical limitation
- 0.8-14.5 psi Pressure, 12V Power Connection, Accessory Kit
- Diagnostic Scope
- Does not include vehicle control unit software or make-specific service menus.
- Measurement range and safe connection conditions are verified from the product's official technical documentation.

What task is the S300 used for in the workshop?
The S300 helps visually track leaks by applying controlled smoke to closed lines. On the ANCEL official product page, the device is described as an automotive EVAP smoke machine; its output pressure is listed as 0.8-14.5 psi, output flow below 6 L/min, and air pressure output as 0.8-1.0 bar.
- EVAP System
- Vacuum and Intake Line
- Hose and Connection Leaks
Product details
What to check during package and usage?
For smoke testing, the connection point, adapter selection, test fluid, and the system's pressure tolerance are as important as the device. High pressure should not be applied without considering the service procedure of the line to be tested and the manufacturer's pressure limit.
- 12V Power Connection
- Hose and Cone Adapter
- System Pressure Limit
Product details
What is the difference from a diagnostic tool?
The S300 does not offer fault codes, live data, or service resets. Diagnostic devices such as DS500BT, DS600, or similar are used for electronic diagnostics; the S300 is service equipment that complements leak suspicion with smoke testing.
Product details
What is the S300 model used for?
The S300 model is a leak detector used to find leaks in EVAP, vacuum, and closed air lines by making the smoke exit point visible. Its main uses and hardware features include: EVAP leak testing, vacuum line check, and hose sealing.
The S300 model performs its own testing or support tasks; it does not replace a full system diagnostic tool.

What does the S300 model provide in daily work?
The S300 model searches for leaks in the EVAP line by making the exit point of the smoke, delivered at low pressure, visible. The 0.8-14.5 psi pressure information is compared with the permissible limit of the test line before the device is connected. The S300 model helps visually inspect cracks, loose clamps, or gasket leaks in vacuum hoses and connection points.
The 12V power connection, smoke hose, and test adapter are checked before use. The S300 model re-tests the same line after repair to show if smoke is still exiting. The accessory kit information helps ensure the first test and final check are performed with the same connection setup.
When the S300 model applies smoke to a line, the leak point is visually monitored and the connection area is recorded. After repair, the same pressure and connection setup is used for re-testing to check for leaks.

Searching for leaks with smoke in the EVAP line using the S300 model
When searching for EVAP leaks with the S300 model, the test connection specified by the vehicle manufacturer is used. The hose and appropriate adapter are securely attached to the closed line. The device is connected to a 12V power source, and the pressure is kept within the limit allowed by the system.
The valve, hose, gasket, or connection area where the smoke exits is visually recorded. Once the leak location is identified, the system pressure is released, and a repair plan is written.
- Find EVAP Test Connection
- Attach Hose and Adapter to Closed Line
- Apply Smoke at Permissible Pressure
- Record Leak Location with Image
Product details
Checking vacuum line connections with the S300 model
The S300 model makes cracks in hoses, loose clamps, and leaking connections visible during vacuum line checks. The open ends of the line to be tested are properly sealed. Smoke is applied to the line at low and controlled pressure. The point where the exit is seen is added to the service record with the line name and vehicle information.
At the end of the test, the pressure is released, and the hoses are disconnected in a safe sequence.
- Seal the Open Ends of the Vacuum Line
- Apply Smoke at Low and Controlled Pressure
- Mark the Leak Point
- Release Pressure and Disconnect Connections
Product details
Re-testing the line's seal after repair with the S300 model
For post-repair seal checks with the S300 model, reconnect to the connection point used in the initial test. The same adapter and permissible pressure value are used. Smoke exit is observed in the repaired area and at other connections of the line. No smoke observed indicates the result for only the tested line under those conditions.
The initial finding and the final check are explained together in the customer report.
- Re-establish the Connection from the Initial Test
- Use the Same Adapter and Pressure
- Visually Inspect the Repaired Area Again
- Report Initial and Final Results Separately
Product details
S300 model technical specifications and operating limits
The 0.8-14.5 psi pressure, 12V power connection, and accessory package define the connection and operating limits of the smoke test. ANCEL technical data specifies the output pressure as 0.8-14.5 psi, output flow below 6 L/min, and air pressure output as 0.8-1.0 bar. The device operates with a 12V power connection.
The permissible pressure for the line to be tested is obtained from the vehicle manufacturer's service procedure; the product's maximum output value is not applied to every line. The hose, cone adapter, and connection clips are specified by name in the package contents.
- 0.8-14.5 psi Pressure: Based on official technical documentation and product label for the S300 model
- 12V Power Connection: The physical part and package contents delivered with the S300 model should match
- Accessory Kit: Based on official technical documentation and product label for the S300 model
Product details
How is the S300 model used in the workshop?
The use of the S300 model begins with finding the correct connection point of the line to be tested. The hose and appropriate adapter are attached to the closed line, and the device is connected to a 12V power source. The pressure is kept within the limit allowed by the vehicle manufacturer, and the smoke exit point is observed.
The leak area is recorded, the repair is completed, and the line is re-tested under the same conditions. At the end of the job, the pressure is released, and the connections are disconnected in a safe sequence.
- Record Initial State for EVAP Leak Test
- Prepare 0.8-14.5 psi Pressure Condition
- Perform EVAP Leak Test According to Manufacturer Procedure
- Re-check Result After Operation with S300 Model
