Subject: R-12 Purchase
Pep Boys is selling the one pound cans, that why I think there is a sudden
interest in getting the EPA certification (I sent for the kit today from
ESCO). The 30lb can costs $549, the one pounders cost like $19 or so. You
do not need any permit to buy the equipment to deliver the gas, JC Whitney
sells it. Now, if you actually care about recycling any gas from your existing
system, then you need some higher end equipment. I'm not worried about this
cause I don't expect to get the Al Gore medal this year anyway. If you
just want to pump up your existing system with one pound cans, you can do it
with the the EPA certificate and as long as you don't evacuate your current
system, you won't release any R12. Now, the big questions, how long is the
shelf life of a can of properly stored R12? The tax on this stuff is only
going up, so it might pay to buy the 30lb can if it will last for many years
on the shelf. Somewhere along the line, I can see myself owning an older
R12 car and needing it...
