This old man down the road from me bought some R12a to put in

his R12 Airconditioning system, The guy at the auto parts store told

him that all you have to do is screw on thiese Qwick connect adaptors

and the put it in, (you dont have to evacuated the system or anything,

it just mixes with the existing R12. ) we gave it a try, everything

seams fine so far, Air is really cold,

However it just doesn't seam, like it should be that simple to me?

Has anyone here used this? If so what was the outcome?

Yeah it's that simple, if the system is just low on freon, and you havent taken off any lines or components to expose the system to atmosphere then you can just give it a boost.

I'd like to know how the hell you got R12a though. It's been illegal to sell it over the counter to someone with out proper certification for @ least 5 years!!!

People bug me all the time to get them some r-12. You have to show them your card, then they keep a log of who bought what

on a side note r12a is the old enviormentally destructive freo, the new r134a is ozone friendly. I hope to god you did'nt mix gasses. Then it can, and probibly will get ugly. The 2 gasses do not mix, the oil in the 2 systems are completly different, the system pressures are waaay different.
