[W126 Coupe] Re: Refrigerant info

[Iain Gunn]

Why does everyone keep messing with r134 and r12? Got to the Duracool site, 
educate yourself, get the Duracool kit, follow the instructions, and install 
yourself. Its simple. You won't die, blow yourself up, pollute the 
environment, and you will have a nice cool system. I have now, over the last 
4 years, filled over 10 vehicles, including my own and have had no problems. 
I am not affiliated with Duracool in any way, just happen to think it is the 
best solution out there, that's why almost three quarters of the world uses 
this type of refrigerant.
