Freezer recharge emergency

[IguanaSwim]

We are due to sail shortly from Hampton to Antigua. We have a deep freeze, a Cool Blue Technautics.
We are trying to recharge with 132 A but our hose doesn’t fit our low pressure input, which has a 3/8” shrader valve. The hose we have had a far larger aperture, probably that typical for cars.
We are trying to find a fridge mechanic or a set of adaptors or the OEM recharge hose. Any suggestions?

I got an adaptor at an auto parts store that sells recharge kits for car air conditioners.

Thanks.
I’ve tried advanced and Oreilly. Do your remember which chain?

Did you check Walmart?

I'm sorry, I get my air conditioner stuff at Autozone, I assumed it was common at most autoparts stores. I'm in Mexico but it looks like Autozone USA has these parts. I don't know where you are (not in your profile) so I don't know if there is an Autozone near you.

Sorry about the poor photo, I already put the stuff back away.

The long adaptor is the one I use for my Dometic (danfoss) system.

Too much gas won't work either, if that happens let some out.

Call technautics Rich or Charlie can probably overnight what you need to you. They are very responsive to cruisers. I believe that the systems are set up so that if a system is completely empty one can fills them to the proper level. Charlie even lent me some probes that m smartphone could hook to and helped me dial in my system via phone. Good luck
