Default What is this?



We disconnected this bolt, and something sprayed out, all over us unfortunely.
Are we going to die? . Also it was smelly and cold, and tasted funky.
Possibly freon?

Now if the R134a was exposed to heat then you got some nerve gas. You should be okay tho.

I have always heard it is a $10,000 fine but none-the-less I would still keep it a secret

Just a question though: Why are you undoing bolts and hoses if you don't know what they go to?

haha thanks guys. Ya I was telling my friend to unbolt the bracket that held the hose in place. But there was a lack of communication between us and he unbolted the connection at then end of that hose. Oh well, i'll just have to wash off my car. i knew it was something for the AC just wasn't positive what. it was definately under lots of pressure though.

You might wanna refill your A/C sys w/ some R134a my friend... A/C works only under pressure! No refrigerant... No cold!
