So i'm tired of sweatin my *** off in the FC. the previous owner took out the drier/reciever in the a/c system, so it's empty. I bought the reciever, but now I'm trying to find someone who can recharge the system. I called a few places but they don't do r-12 anymore. Anyone know of a place in the greenville/spartanburg area? Or does any freeze 12 users wanna help me out?

 

i'm sure it can be made to run the new refrigerant, whatever that might consist of.

 

if you've got a fresh system converting it to r-134 isn't that hard or expensive. they sell the kits at advance and o'reilly

 

well i was searching and am concerned that the pressure from 134 might blow a line. at $40/lb. I'd hate to have to replace a line and refill it again..

 

$40? I work at Firestone and it cost $16/lb. You can buy the cans probably less than that. If your not familiar with a/c work try to find a buddy or someone that will do work on the side. To much freon will make a system not work as fast as not enough freon.

 

well i did some more searching and found that www.es-refridgerants.com has a r12 replacement as well, was thinking about going and having the lines flushed and vacuummed, then putting this stuff in.

Anyone tried this?

 

never tried

please do a search I have noted some people have tried various replacements and did not like the results. I think there is something posted here last april or may.

it is always best to fix the system then pull a vacuum and see if it holds the vacuum,,,then add the charge

 

I wouldn't put 134 in if just the drier was replaced. You would need to change all the seals and clean it out real well to work good.
