And if you knew that a " liquid expansion reservoir " was needed to make the statement correct and safe for lay readers it should have been included in that post..

"but in practice that's not what happens " --- how about describing where you see this happening... and tell what the advantage is... compared to sticking it into the high side as the books suggest ?
Hey all am saying is that people don't always do things the way they're supposed to and some systems do have "liquid expansion reservoirs" when I mentioned this I was referring to people in general and not diesel owners in particular.
"how about describing where you see this happening..."
I "see" it happening all the time when people hold the can of refrigerant sideways and start shaking it as opposed to holding it up where only gas will flow out.
