Sorry - I forgot to mention one thing - when I put the cap of the 134
onto the valve of the low pressure ****t, it wouldn't work - nothing
would come out of the can. I took it off the valve and it worked
fine. So I guess I was thinking that there was sufficient back-
pressure to keep the can from emptying its contents into the line...
