Was I imagining it or was somebody stating
that Duracool molecules are quite a bit
larger than those of 134a, thereby quite
a lot less prone to leaks?

My Tundra 8 cu ft 12/120 Volt fridge appears
that it is leaking refrigerant in the area
of the connection between compressor and lines
to the evaporator in the freezer compartment.
There appears to be oil residue down near the
compressor.

I'm wondering if Duracool might "plug" the leak?

Would using Duracool in the interior of a coach
really be safe? This is the fridge I removed
from my boat and if I can get the leak stopped
I'll use it as a beer/pop fridge in the garage
or put it into "Money Pit" if the fridge there
turns out to be non-functional.

Thanks!
