4Bee will struggle a bit because the borders are shut.

****, just when I was on my way too, but I suddenly realised I wouldn't have the appropriate gas. Bugger!


That is a thoughty one you owe me Ian.


How hard could it be for you Paul? Ignition off, out of vehicle with Charging Lines in hands, give the client a bit of old Flannel & bull****. there's 20 seconds gone. find bonnet catch is stuck, **** around for 30 mins trying to open it.

Eventually you are in, so is the gas. Remove lines say G'day Mate & a quick ****off back home.

Job done.

Hide the 300 notes under your bed.

All up a good day's work.

If it was properly retrofitted or came factory 134a it'll use the standard quick-connects. A good set of quick-connect to 1/4" adapters is pretty cheap and worth keeping around.

Yes, 134a, but the connects are not standard so you will need an adaptor.

You may also be able to buy just a single hose with correct end on it(low side) that fits your charging manifold.

What's up Des? Your hoses not long enough?
