Hi 73Delta88, All,

yea disregard my last comment someone on another forum told me that freeze 12 is really bad for your system unless you completely drain it out first

It worked great until someone on the internet told you it won't?

i would have the system deep evacuated ..........

Please explain "deep evacuated" and why it should be done in this case.

it doesn't in my neck of the woods... I went to 3 different stores looking for it

http://www.freeze12.com/

They are in San Diego and show no dealers in MA, They do claim the product will mix with R12, as was probably done here.

From your description, you might only need an ounce or two, as your leak is of no consequence.

When in doubt, I always take the advice of a qualified shop.

Regards, Norm

As I see it I could...

1) have the system evacuated properly, then retrofit for 134a
2) evacuate the system improperly (blow it into the air) then retrofit (I don't really want to do this, but technically it's an option)
3) pay through the nose for r-12 and just top it off
4) use this freeze 12 stuff, or anything else out there that's compatible w/ r-12... but I don't know where to find this and what the price would be compared to actual r-12
decisions decisions :lol:

Brought it to the shop and they shot 1/2 a pound of r-12 into the system and now it blows cold as could be. Topping it off with r-12 turned out to be the best solution in this situation. If it were completely empty it would have been cheaper to retrofit, but like I said it only took 1/2 a pound.
