Testo manifolds are good too. Fieldpiece has a nicer controls and displays
(IMO) but Testo units are more compact and some have Bluetooth for remote temp
sensors and smart phone interface.
I need to check but I doubt these units have pressure-temp curves for
Envirosafe.

NO. That's why I'd need a new condenser unit, actually a heat pump.

It's like a regular manifold (with round gauges) and three
Does envirosafe make only one refrigerant for cars now? Just wondering in case
I put the 300SD back in the rotation.
By the way, my home heat pump (13 year old R22 unit) developed a leak in the
evaporator coil. I added a can of envirosafe leak stop last winter, which
didn't help much. So
This applies to my 123 and 126 Diesels (and later models). Did they use turks
and bow ties then?
On the other hand. Maybe proper coolant maintenance prevents this problem?

Kent Bergsma did a recent video on getting the water pump bolts out without
breaking or stripping them. Might be worth a watch. The keys were patience
and penetrating fluid. Seems the ends of the bolts penetrate into the coolant
and are prone to corrosion.

Thank you for this data. How much area (sf) is your array? Are your panels
angled for best sun interception or just flat on the roof, or does it work out
to be the same? Do you store extra power or put it back into the grid? I have
been skeptical of solar advocates but I am very interested
I lived on the water in Seabrook TX (south of Houston, near NASA) from
1969-1973. The land there sank 2-3 ft. (WRT sea level) during that time, which
was attributed to pumping too much fresh water out of the aquifer.

Well, let's see; a US with an open southern boarder would be -- Mexico (all the
