Re: [DML] freeze 12



There are a number of R-12 replacements.  The one I thought promising was R-406A
(http://www.autofrost.com).  This site has links to good info on the use of Freon
alternatives.  Or, you can just check what I said 3 years ago:

Geez, have I been posting for that long?

In the case of Autofrost, they claim that a blend allows for higher efficiency, but
since a blend will not leak all of it's different molecules at the same rate it cannot
be "topped off".  And I agree that most shops will not touch Freon-alternative equipped
cars, but most shops won't touch a DeLorean, anyway.  :-)
