What would you tell those poor souls driving around with gasoline powered vehicles? God forbid that the gasoline lines would be breached during a collision and that they are also carrying around 20 gallons of gasoline where they may be rear ended. That is alot more risky, in my opinion, than my 16 ounces of duracool.


All I'm saying is that a risk assessment must be made and gather all the correct facts before you make a decision. We shouldn't come to conclusion without investigating the facts first. Duracool isn't for everybody. My decision was based upon the performance, cost and safety. If people want to use the lower performing, less efficient r-134, more power to them.
