   That's what my dad said about Fords, back in the day. I bought a few   
   anyway. 8^) My only regret was buying a 55 Ford and finding that the same   
   year Chevy could kick its butt.

   New models have an external high pressure pump. Dropping the tank on a   
   pick up is too easy, unless your pump goes out when the tank is full.

   If you look at the Pro-Kool R134 recharge system, you have to manually   
   pull a trigger to reload the system. Don't know how anyone could connect   
   to the R134 port and not get it right. R12, yeah that happened a lot...
