Duracool refrigerant - has anyone tried it?

5 O'Clock Charlie's first and only post so far was a suggestion that I use duracool to recharge my A/C... this stuff looks really...cool (har har)

Has anyone tried this? I'm willing to be the first if no one else has. It seems like a magic bullet.

Hello again Wonderboy,

Like I said in your other thread, I've used it successfully and I'm happy with the product. I'm not a company shill or anything, just a customer.

You'll want to know that apparently in the States there is a bit of a controversy as to the safety of using a hydrocarbon based refrigerant in an automotive air conditioning system. Personally I believe its all hype by refrigerant industry folks worried about their jobs/market share etc. But its up to you to decide.

Here's some links for and against:

Hydrocarbon Refrigerant - NAT ENERGY RESOURCES PTE LTD

Duracool Refrigerants - Cool Earth Refrigerants Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
