Hello,
I'm looking to pick up some duracool on my way to Elkhart. The closest legal stale I know of would be Missouri. I will be on the I 55 to the I 57 northbound.

I saw a previous post where ken Burton recommended a place in sikeston, Mo called the pump shop. But I can't find a listing.

Anyone have recommendations? I can pick up extra bottles for delivery to Elkhart if needed.

Thanks, Scott.

Scott - I believe that Ken Burton recommends Worthington AG which is a farm supply company.
If you find one on your way to Elkhart I would appreciate your picking up a case of 12 for me.
I used the last of mine filling another GMCers motorhome.

I’ll be at Elkhart and will pay you there.
Thanks a lot.

Worthington AG has a store in Leesburg, In. About 30 miles South of Elkhart. No idea if they have Duracool or equivalent. This is solely based on web search.

I tried to answer this yesterday but the Internet was down here.
Go to Worthington Ag Parts in Sikeston, Mo. Sikeston is at the intersection of I-55 and I-57 or near by.

There is also a Worthington store in Leesburg, Indiana (near Warsaw, Indiana) which is not too far from Elkhart.

I would stop in Sikeston, MO. It is right on your way. If for some reason they do not have it, you still have Leesburg as a back up location to go to while you are at the Elkhart rally.

I don't know if the enviro-safe from Amazon is the same formula as duracool.

Enviro-safe $50 per case from Amazon, free shipping..
Duracool from the Ag supply $80 per case, pick up in sikeston.

Duracool works with r12 and r134. Enviro-safe works only with r134 (as far as I can tell).

My preference is still the duracool. Just my inexperienced gut feel.

EMERY...your opinion??
Scott.

I have used Enviro safe for a yr. in my GMC and also a 05 trailblazer. Works great does work with the R12. R134.
supposed to be the same as Dura cool just a lot cheaper.
