  A buddy came over  to get me to check out The AC on his little truck, and I find where I am kinda behind the times,,,,,,LOL
 Had him turn AC on and clutch never offered to engage, so I hook up the gauges and system shows no pressure.
 I tell him there must be a leak in system, but no idea how big a leak system has and can add some freon and see how long it lasts before system leaks down again,,,,?? He comes back with only one of those small cans of R134. I notice that the discharge port in top of can is different that I remember from a while back. This can has a pre-drilled hole with a |valve looking apparatus inside that hole,,,,??
 I tried hooking up my gauges but the "NEW GENERATION" can could not be punctured to release the freon  into the system,,,????
 Anyone got any ideas,,??

YEP... a few years back they put a CHECK VALVE in the can so all the goody dont leak out when you onlyuse half a can... and they made it SO YOU CANT USE THE OLD can valve/ .... your hose / gauge set will be OK...!!...... Time to Visit NAPA or AMAZON !

You can purchase the cans of refrigerant with a guage, hose, and the fitting on the can. Depending on the size of the a/c system, it may need more than one can.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Well your still not up with the modern times as our "friends at the government" always wanting to be the "I'm from the government here to help you", guys.

What is Hilarious is these cans once used to charge a system are taken to a Trash Can, PUNCTURED with an Awl to VENT THE CAN of ANY residual Contents, waste of time and finances to make them "Leak Proof".

So the New R1234yf is now being updated to another , and fittings for the yf are different than R134 fittings , and if you use just the fittings you need to purge the hoses before changing charge . 
R-454B is the newest refrigerant, which will gradually replace R-410A, the refrigerant used in current HVAC manufacturing. R-454B is a blend of R-32, a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), and R-1234yf a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO). R-454B has a lower GWP than previous refrigerants, meaning it has a much lower climate impact.
