Re: [doc] AC RE-GASSED

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi

i thought that the newer gasses were meant to attack the rubber 
seals on the old system so replacement was recommended?

however several sources claimed that the new stuff (R134) had been 
used and the old seals were holding out.

Just wondered, as have not even checked mine yet!
