I have done this many times now, and all are still working. Tou should cut off some of the capillary 1st and change the drier.

I have spoken today with some colleagues about blockages with R600a and the only causes any of us can come up with are poor cleanliness during manufacture.
I heard when they 1st brought this gas out that it was meant to be super duper about not getting blockages.
It can also handle a lot more moisture than other gases.

But sadly this is not the case. When people test systems in a controlled environment then it works OK, but when you jam the fridge in the back of a bar in a busy night club with a blocked condenser then it starts misbehaving.
