    I need help buying my tools for class at school

    Freeze 12?

    I personally am not familiar with 409 so I don't have an opinion on it's use. Having said that epa has not approved 409 for use in vehicles to my knowledge. "Many refrigerants, including R-401A (made by DuPont), R-401B (DuPont), R-409A (Elf Atochem), Care 30 (Calor Gas), Adak-29/Adak-12...

    My bad I should have added that in that yes you do have to be licensed to buy R-12 which is expensive because they no longer "make" it. I meant freeze 12 is sold over the counter. Yes I am licensed.

    Just my 2 cents but I wouldn't be using air from your compressor to blow out the existing oil. If it is not evacuated properly it could create acid in the system and then you are really hosed. Nitrogen is what is recommended when flushing a system, testing it for leaks and purging. Without...

    Thanks, I'm pretty happy with my score. Yes all the wiring and mechanical work now with a little TLC. Oil pressure gauge is the only thing I need to fix now I think it's the relay. The AC compressor went out and they tore it out but that will be easy to replace with a new 134A or even R12...
