Quick thing guys. I just want to clarify that I don't "vent" into the atmosphere and I was not advising him to do so. I capture the stuff. When I told him to "bleed the system of excess" (if that was the problem) I assume if he doesn't have the equipment that he will take it in to be serviced. Also, I went by a local shop the other day to check on R-12 avaialbility for another DeLorean owner. I was told it was about $100 per lb of R-12 Vs the $50 or so he charged per lb of R-134a. Perhaps you guys have it cheaper in other places but he was telling me a single cylinder of R-12 (forget how much he said was in it) was over 1k. I'm glad I had converted because (atleast here) that was a big difference in price. Personally, I prefer R-12 because it is MUCH colder. I don't think long term "environmental" effects of R-12 woulda been apparent for QUITE some time. Too bad "they" shut down production of it. I only used R-134a because it was cheaper and I could do it myself.
