May 25, 200521 yr comment_45633 There is no info on the net :dry: i know its very bad to release it into the environment. Like freon etc. But i really really want this a/c from a certain silver ae71 rolla van :thumbsup: Which has an immaculate setup. So what do i do? Or could any one point me in the right direction?

May 25, 200521 yr comment_45642 well u could get someone to degas it... cost a few bucks... most aircon places can do it for u, not sure if there is anyone mobile... or u can just undo it and pretend u didnt see it leak into the atmosphere... Report
May 25, 200521 yr comment_45746 Get a rag and a screwdriver... Undo the cap off the low pressure line... Put the screwdriver into the valve and cover with the rag... Slowly depress the screwdriver and release all the gas... Don't breathe it in... Hint - The valve is the same setup as a tyre valve and I'm sure everyone knows how to deflate tyres lol... Do it that way, I have before with no issues at all... Report
May 30, 200521 yr comment_46685 it depends on what gas is in the a/c unit do you know what gas it is? venting to atmosphire can cost you $50k plus and any aircon guy can "reclaim" the gas for a small charge... also what are you going to regas it with?? if the seals are ok try and get some one to refill it with carbon dioxide..... to cut a long story short ... its cheap and really good refrigerant...

May 30, 200521 yr comment_46688 forgot to add... venting to atmosphire can KILL... alot of old refrigerant's are carsangenic... and can cause anafolatic shock... sorry my spelling is crap but i worked in the a/c industry for a few years and i heard of many a/c people in hospital who passed out and there heart stopped and they still got hit with fines... and not only that but 1kg of refrigerant can kill 10 tons of o-zone.... NO BODY should recommend or try to release gas to atmosphire for these reason's. Report
May 30, 200521 yr comment_46697 i had no idea that A/C gas could be so lethal..... you learn something everyday. Report
