Parts for adapter to fit LP (16 to 13mm) port on Espace?

Post by Axa »

After filling both our Ford Focus and Citroen C5 with Envirosafe "BP" leak stop and gas mix and getting very efficient result. I have noe discovered that Renault for some unknown reason have decided to use the thicker 16mm quick cupling that all other car brands (correct me?) have chosen to use a 13mm coupling on.
So to fill the AC on the Espace it looks like I need to order an adapter
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391729889796

I would rather not wait to get this done, and I think considering the price inkl shipping ~£35 it might be even cheaper to find the coupling and nipple and to make an adapter. So could anyone tell me the name / dimension on the parts I need ?
