Thanks for the help ya'll
NO Be careful
These cars take 1.65 lbs which is a hair over two cans and the 4 oz difference isn't enough, it should be cold enough if everything else is nominal
22 oz should have been enough even if it was completely empty. If you want to add another 1/4 of a 12oz can, that should fill it
TTT!
