Yes, I used it - but I also replaced the O-rings, they're cheap.


I have the system brought to a hard vacuum to recover the old freon, then
had it purged with nitrogen.


Next was high pressure nitrogen to see if I had leaks.


I then had another hard vaccuum drawn - then the new R-134a pumped in, along
with the conditioner.


Works great, that is, ....as feebly as it's supposed to.
