Re: E-150 Dies During Driving
 

The electronics stores carry it along with good spray contact cleaner
for all the electronic sensor plug and socket cleaning.

One brand is called 'super cold 134' made by MG CHEMICALS.

Here is one place that sells it just for instance.
http://www.active123.com/b2c/redirec..._2&catID=17800

I don't know if that link will be good but you can find it here under
'chemicals': http://www.active123.com

Re: E-150 Dies During Driving
 

RatShack used to carry it. Can also be mail ordered from electronics
and PC parts hobbyist onlines. It isn't really necessary, the Perfect
Dust brand duster spray is diflouroethane and cools just as well.
