Gene,
Thanks for clarifying the CO2 method. I didn't mention duration. It is
the current protocol I was taught. I do know and respect your
experience and was going to question my instructor as he hasn't the
experience ( he look 12 yrs old ) that you do. I do like the hose pinch
method as I do keep pliers handy on the truck.. Thanks for the info!!
