What are the common place for freon to leak out??

Is the green o-ring seal compatible with r12??

Where can I buy r12 freon dye??

[u3b3rg33k]

Lookup Duracool / HC-12a. Works as well as R12 (and it's old system friendly) and it's not bad for the environment.

The compressor shaft seal behind the compressor clutch, a hole in the condenser caused by flying debris coming through the grill, the crimps at the ends of your flexible lines, the o-rings underneath the manifold where the flexible lines come out of the compressor....

Is the green o-ring seal compatible with r12??

Yes.

Don't put dye in your system, it's a contaminant. Use pressurized dry nitrogen and soap bubbles to find leaks.

As I have posted before, a perfect refrigerant for recharging r12 systems is r414b. It is an r12 drop in, which means that it will run similar pressures and is compatible with your compressor, compressor oil, expansion valve, and pressure switch. I just recharged both of my neighbor's cars (both 80's era Fords) using r414b with excellent results (45-50 degree vent temps. @ 90 degrees ambient).

Yellow journalism at it's best.
God forbid you have a gasoline leak in your car...
Or an explosive sitting 8" from your face...

R-414B is really expensive comparing to r12 freon. why not use regular 12 freon??

[u3b3rg33k]

Because you can't buy it anymore...

Propane and butane are highly flamible gasses. They won't spontaneously combust in a system, but I'd be worried about it in a wreck... or if your evaporator leaks.

[u3b3rg33k]

If your car is leaking that much refrigerant, you won't have AC for long. Cars don't hold much refrigerant to start with.

FYI it is approved for use by the Canadian DOT (whatever it's called), so it can't be that bad. I've also been running it for the last five years, and I'm still here. Now about that time I had a fuel line rupture...

99.9% of the r12 you see for sale is recovered r12. Unless the people responsible for recovery were meticulous and the systems they recovered the gas from were clean you risk introducing contaminants into your system.
