so glad I got the large canister, the system took most of 22oz, it was almost empty. Now I just have to wait and see if it keeps working or if it all leaks out overnite.

I have a dye kit that glows under black light when there's a leak.

Default wow, you really have everything there is to have Jim

I tried soapy water but couldn't pinpoint it. I'd love to borrow your dye kit, what would I need to furnish? Another recharge kit to build up pressure? Can I buy the dye somewheres? You da man

Default mine took 2 large cans!

Previous owner thought the AC died 3 years before i bought it. I recharged it and it's working again!

*but it leaks...but since i don't drive much i only have to refill it once a year.
