I can see it in the news now...
Yu trying for that 2004 Darwin award. Be careful we don't want to see anyone hurt..
After an electrical shock drink plenty of fluids that contain electrolytes as your body sometimes will expell more than normal levels after an electrical shock. This can cause cramping in your legs and other issues....
Play it safe if after a shock seek medical attention if you are showing symptoms or are worried...
i started to charge tonight it took about 1.5 hours
i think i might have overcharged?

Pressures temperatures? Looks like the oil is burnt, you may need to change it, of install a suction filter cleanup filter Type C303s-hh sporlan or equivalent and no it does not look overchagred.....
thanx ill change the oil on the weekend, i know to drain it out and replace the same amount, but how much oil roughly do these type of compressors (roughly) take, as i may have lost some of the oil?
is it about 550ml
should i insulate the evaporator pipe that returns to the compressor up untill the accumulator, and the shradder valve as well?

only put in the same amount you take out and install a good clean up filter. A sporlan C-163S-HH will be fine... Make sure it is a suctionline clean up filter install it in the suctionline. Also install a new filter in the liquid line something like a C-032-S .... PM any issues as they arise.. I'll try to answer as quickly as I can...
The filters are in english units.. c163 is 16 cubic inches and 3/8 lines the c032 is 3 cubic inches and 1/4 inch metric equivalant filters if you need then would be ok..
