do not invert the CO2 cylinder!!! DO NOT PUT LIQUID CO2 into your system!!! VERY VERY VERY VERY dangerous!!! 2000PSI is VERY VERY VERY BAD for any system!!! ONLY USE THE GAS for blowing out the lines!!! or REGULATED PRESSURE BELOW 200 psi to pressure test and mix with 4oz R22 for leak detection!

OK - Im glad that is cleared up.
Another series of questions meant so that you guys answer it for a last time:
1.)What are acceptable flush solvents/fluids?
2.)Are one of the commercial preparations better than another?
3.)How much solvent should one expect to use to do a complete flush in an typical MB system?
