Floatability (so to speak) doesn't have as much to do with weight as you might like. Density? Lithium is pretty light, yet doesn't seem to float into the air much! Freon is carbon tet. with two Cl's replaced with F's. C-Cl2-F2 versus C-Cl4. I do not believe the hype around the ozone connection, but even if it was questionable they could have accomplished their aims my mandating new construction use the new refrigerant, and let the demand for the old die off naturally rather than turn it into a substance as illegal to handle as crack. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
