USAGE & INSTALLATION
Is DURACOOL12aŽ a "drop in replacement"?
It is important to understand that there are two types of automobile air conditioning units, those charged with CFC-12 and those charged with R-134a (R-134a is in all automobiles manufactured after 1994, some during 1993). DURACOOL12aŽ is a drop in replacement for R-134 automobiles, but requires a high and a low side fitting to convert CFC-12 systems.
This is a very inexpensive conversion.
Does the system need to be completely empty?
Although mixing DURACOOL12aŽ with CFC-12 or R-134a in your A/C system would not damage or harm your system, it is illegal to charge your AC system without first evacuating the refrigerant that is currently in the A/C unit.

Ammonia at 100psi? That scares me a whole lot more than propane at 50psi. What the hell are they thinking?
