Lol, still have a case of the 12oz cans hiding in the barn for when I put a scavenged dealer add on a/c unit in my truck. SO do you have the puncture tool with the line and valve and some gauges still too? Lol now you gotta have a licence to even buy the stuff. :thup:

So it can still be bought ? I know someone with a license. I'm sure it's not cheap.

Congrats John, Keep Cool when your rolling.

No it is not cheap, but cheaper than converting and IMO it works better than it's replacement.
Yes I do have what is needed to use it. :thup:
Highboy you better lock that case of gold in a vault. :lol:

I still have a 50# Drum of this un-opened. It sure works better than its replacement.

You can still find it at swap meets on occasion, but if all else fails, I know a guy named "Craig", who has a "list" of things for sale that comes through for me at times. :wink:
