Great R-12 Recharge Alternative!

[NickMaul]

I stumbled upon this "hybrid" refrigerant when it came to summer time this year and my R-12 needed a full charge in my jeep cherokee.

I was skeptical at first but it was my cheapest alternative to recharging my a/c system and it works great! Three cans of this stuff took my a/c from warm and poopy to wow my air conditioning has not felt this good in a ling time. Very affordable and compatible with both r-12 and r-134a.

It also smells like pine-sol when the can comes off the hoses

Very good to know. Keep us posted on long term cooling.

make sure you inform anyone who may hook up an ac machine to your truck. i would be pissed if your "freon" contaminated my 30lbs cylinder of real freon.

Just so you know,this is likely highly refined propane.

There's any easy way to find out. Got a match?

However:

Like most organic materials ENVIRO-SAFE is flammable, but its ignition temperature is 1585ºF at both 5 psi and 0 psi (which is better than the DuPont R-134a's ignition temperature of 368ºF at 5 psi and 1411ºF at 0 psi). Nevertheless, a pine odor has been added to the product so that any leak in a refrigeration system can be readily detected.

Just an FYI, what you choose to do with the info is entirely up to you.
