Bah. We've been over this before... In order to be legal, you must first convert from CFC-12 to HC-134, including fittings. THEN you can convert to Duracool. As the EPA notes, it is illegal to convert any AC system from CFC-12 to Duracool. However, there is a nice gray area, where there is no such restriction on AC systems that are using HC-134. In order to fall into that legal gray area, you must convert to HC-134 first. Find out how sucky HC-134 is. Then you can switch to Duracool, and once again enjoy a nice cold AC system.
