gas i will buy off on just call it fuel that way you cover gas and diesel water is both mixed with ethylinglycol for coolant and acid for battery electrolite the fluid in shocks is oil oil is in your crank case power steering transmission differetial shocks and your a/c compressor but the r134-a is a gas at atmispheric pressure not a liquid as is lng or lpg i don't think you can count them one fluid you might have missed is the viscus fluid in the fan clutch of some cars .

I'm going to agree to dissagree let some lawyer sort it out yes half the system in your car as in storage r-12 and 134a are in a liquid form under pressure now crack a line and the liquid rapidly expands in to a gas in your car the gas is compressed and cooled to turn it into a liquid in the high pressure side and it goes in to the evaporator there is a nozzel or restriction in the line holding the excess pressure and bleading off enough pressure that the liquid expands in to a vapor causing a cooling effectthan the gas is routed back into the compressor and re compressed and liquified again. so what would you call it a liquid in it's stored state ot a gass in its natural state. Ha bet you all didn't know that some one in the arctic kenw any thing about a/c.

Touche dds :yum: , I knew you were right as far as in the vehicles system , I used to charge my own ac thats how I know theres liquid in the can :biggrin: . BTW I have never shot any cans of the r12 as that would probablly put me on Al Gores watchlist :whistling:

I have a brother that lives in Skagway which I,m sure most of you would consider that being the tropics compared to what your used to . He lives right across from the little airport & allways telling me how miserablly cold & nasty it is there , Knowing theres 3 live webcams & I can see in real time what the actuall weather is as well as I can see what its doing . He still likes to pull my leg :yum: .

I follow Ya,lls threads in the snocat sections & thats how I know what Extreme cold weather is really like :biggrin:

Urine in the milk jug for the long rides!:clap::clap:


Ah, that brings up another one. Bluetech diesels need Urea to run. And there is a sensor that can sense if the urea added is refined urea or plain old pizz.

Add Urea to the list.
