R-12 warning



Just a warning to all of you out there... I had my A/C recharged recently. I first tried the place that I have gone to for years for my R-12 work. The guy inside said "R-12? Sure", then when another fellow came out carrying a small device I asked him if it was pure, 100% R-12. Negative, it was something he called "F-12" (80% R-134a and 20% R-12)! They had recently stopped carrying R-12 entirely! What made me mad was the fact that they lied to me about having R-12. I found it elsewhere, so now everything is well.

The moral of the story is, if you're like me and aren't ready to roll the dice with a conversion, then make absolutely sure you're getting R-12 before they put anything in. As the archives will tell, people have had mixed results with conversions, but that's another topic.

And another warning for Memphis goers: it's turned quite hot (and very very HUMID) here in TN, so you may want to make sure your A/C (and run-off tube) are all in good shape before the show.
