    Smoke unit on Panzer IV

    Quick question, I replaced my smoke unit today, and the smoke is filling up inside the tank, and coming out of every possible spot. If I recall, the smoke was initially coming out of the inlet port where liquid smoke goes in. Am I missing something on here? Thanks.

    Hose disconnected is the likely culprit. Sometimes the lid of the smoke box cracks a leak, but you'd still get some smoke out of the exhaust. Make sure the hoses aren't blocked.
    The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

      Thank you. I just cleared the inlet and it's now coming out where it should be, however it's still coming out the other spot as well. I'll add a few pics.

        Put a cap on the other outlet.

          Your smoker unit is for a dual exhaust. Plug the other one. :)

            Thank you for the help, it's now fixed. I was initially thinking on covering the other outlet, but I didn't want to mess something up. I appreciate it!
