People with HFC's: Did you throw a CEL after install

I see. I'm having my HFCs installed today with the straight extenders that came with them. Hopefully I won't get the CEL problems. Steel wool...is that like the material used

Steel wool...is that like the material used in scrub pads you use in the kitchen? Can I get steel wool at somewhere like Home Depot? How much do you need and how tight/loosely pack does it have to be?

Well, try first without it. Most likely, you will be ok.

Yeah that's the stuff... you can get it at the hardware store/grocery store etc.

From what I have read, you have to pack it pretty tight, but not so tight where no air can get through.
