Where can you get R12 freon?

Answer

Due to federal law, only licenced repair shops can possess r-12. Might as well go to the pros for a recharge. I got lucky and found a few cans in a friend's basement. John In Montana

Answer

Go to Walmart and spend 33.00 for a kit. Have a vacuum pulled on your system and changge the high side fitting with the correct one in your kit. Put the new can of refrigerant oil in and the freon while running your a/c on max. Stop adding freon when the compressor kicks on a 25 and kicks out at 40. There is a gauge on the filler apparatus that comes in the kit. It is a very simple procedure.

Answer

The kit mentioned will not have R-12. It will have R-134a, or worse, an "R-12 substitute." If your system is designed for R-12, it may not work well with R-134a, and the R-12-compatible oil in it will not mix with the R-134a. There is a possibility of damaging the system. Using an "R-12 substitute" often has an even greater risk of causing damage. If you want a safe, reliable repair, have a competent shop service the system with R-12 or do a proper, complete conversion to R-1343a for you.

Ebay...the catch is you have to email the seller certifying you are buying the R12 for your certified auto tech to insyall!
