I asked him about Hychill and he said it's a better gas but because it has smaller molecules it's harder to keep in the system. He said he started using it on P38's and found he had to come back and refill them with r134a after a few months.
Given that I have new hoses I think i will give the hychill a whirl when I replace the TX valve.
I am wondering if I should also replace the Tri-state and low pressure switches while it has no gas in it. Not sure about the long term reliability of those switches

I've always heard it's the other way around. Hychill leaks a lot less ... due to the lower pressures it runs and bigger molecule size. Someone else will look it up for me
