Re: using R-134a recovery tank with other refrigerant ???
The cylinder should be capable of holding any refrigerant up to it's safe maximum fill quantity. Check the loading data stamped on the cylinder.
You will, however, suffer from cross contanimation if you use it for different refrigerants without having the cylinder cleaned between uses.Brian - Newton Abbot, Devon, UK

Recovery of R290 (propane) involves the usage of explosion proof equipment.
Remember to retag your cylinder according to the actual refrigerant stored.

Re: using R-134a recovery tank with other refrigerant ???
Thank you all for these helpful tips....
I bought this machine : 69100 COMPLETE A/C RECOVERY SYSTEM ( mastercool )
And I have read the manual supplied with the machine, But I'm not sure this information is :
4. ..... Connect hose from outlet port of recovery machine to vapor (gas) connection on recovery tank.
Now..I want to know what is the right way ?
And are the differences color the valves cylinders is importance or not ?
-------------------------------
If I use the recovery tank in charging proses and I leave the tank up side down, so what is the best way to connect hose ( Vapor "OR" Liquid connection ) ?
I attach the file that contain the links ....
Thank you all Guys,

Re: using R-134a recovery tank with other refrigerant ???
If i am filling the recovery tank with the recovery machine i would connect to the liquid tap, the idea is that the refrigerant will bubble through the liquid in the bottom of the tank keeping the pressure and temperature lower than if the gas tap had been used.
If you are emtying the tank with the machine you will want to connect to the gas tap unless your machine can cope with liquid.
