A/C R12-to-R12a Refrigerant Recharge Results


Recommended Posts

Anyone know if i currently have the system charged with 134a if I can basically evac and then recharge with the 12a or is that a big no no? 

I don't know a whole lot about it so any input would be helpful

Hey guys,

 

I appreciate the recommendation. I've got an '87 Comanche that hasn't blown cold for a couple years now. I thought perhaps the system needed a recharge, so I purchased the Red Tek 12a package from Amazon, started by hooking up the can of leak stop and oddly enough found the pressure to be very high (like 75-80 PSI). I believe I hooked it all up properly. I used the adapter with the blue cap and threaded to the service port with the larger hose. Am I doing something wrong here?

 

Best,

Casey

You should do a writeup for dummies on this hahaha I tried an ended up locking up my compressor temporarily. Pulled it to replace it and the old one spun better than the junkyard one I pulled.
