Dash AC / Sight glass

[Jay Darst]

Has anyone had experience with the DuraCool product?

From the website that Stephen Birtles listed in this thread, it
appears to be a working solution to the R134 refrigerant.

If anyone has experience or first hand information about this
product, I would greatly appreciate hearing about it.

I have heard and read about the corrosive properties of R134. Too
much stuff at risk if there is an alternative!

Thanks!
