I'd bought several stop leak cans ~5 years before and held on to them.
This was the 1st time I'd had a chance to use it
When in doubt, throw in some UV dye and see where it goes.

They work fine IF the condenser is clean and there is no air in the system (and
no leaks, of course). My 300D was so cold in the highway

there was condensation blowing out the vents!
