Envirosafe argues that since hydrocarbons do not react to air, there's no need to pull a vacuum. It's a controversial claim for sure. I plan to pull a vacuum in round 2 anyway and maybe just find some r12.

Hopefully I've found the house that ruptured. The hoses actually look brand new. Not sure there was an unusual leak prior to this episode.
In just a minor leak, you get a nice cloud of explosive and flamable gas. Gasoline does not do that.

It ain't my car, and it ain't my life to risk, go with it if you want.
