A/C replacement

[ohthejosh]

I don't want to spend the shit tons of money that comes with a conversion to r-134, I think it was on r3v I heard about a viable straight replacement refrigerant for R12 called Freeze-12 I believe. I tried searching but I believe it was mentioned in passing and was not the topic of the thread

Does anyone have any more information on this?

go on fleabay and buy a few cans of R-12. They are all over the place. Or even Craigslist.

I've had good results with Freeze-12.

From the shops around my area, they said they wont work with R12 so thats why I want to know about Freeze 12

I've had good results with Freeze-12.

What is the process in putting it in the system, any different fittings and what not?

There are instructions on Freeze-12's site.

i just redid my ac with r12. i bought 3 cans of r12 on craigslist. rented the vacuum pump and gauges and also replaced the receiver drier. i ran vacuum for 30 mins and then let it sit with no leaks. i've heard mixed opinions about freeze 12. if you can do it your self i would probably stick with r12 and if the system is in good shape. if your gonna tare the whole thing apart i would change to r134a.
