ok - the jim c. method of "blending on the fly" - what would I add to my R12 and how would I do it?
do I have to remove the r12 and fill with the other stuff? It may be easier to go to the corner mechanic and have a can of R12 put in -- BTW, I am getting my EPA certification so I can buy some r12 and keep it for the future. But the issue of getting cans of "mystery Freon" is still a concern -- Thanks to all who wrote & helped -- Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig McCluskey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 5:42 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Bubbles in AC sight glass? 91 300D 2.5T > On Tue, 10 Jul 2007 12:57:06 -0700 Zeitgeist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I love the Gaz d' Cathey method precisely because I can top-up R12 >> "on-the-fly".
