[s-cars] missing cool

[Noah]

What about the chemical test kit you can get? Has anyone had any experience
with them? I tried one once, but the results were kind of inconclusive. (I
did end up needing the HG -so maybe inconclusive = positive)

Can the HG only leak one direction, and thereby foil the test?
