[DeTomaso] Stock A/C recharge - anyone try Red Tek 12a ?

[Jim Gray]

So tempted to use the stuff her in OK but law says not to be used in motor 
vehicles. Go figure. It's OK to have a giant propane tank in your car but 
not to use a highly refined propane in you’re A/C.  Who's getting paid off 
here?

The original R12 works absolutely great in my car. R134a...not so much.

I have installed DURACOOL (a R12a type system in Canada) 5 years ago in my 
wife's car after I replaced the failed airconditioning compressor with a new 
one.
Works great.  I intend to install the same in my Pantera.
Highly recommended after a proper job is done (evacuate the system, check 
for leaks, fill etc.)

  Dear Dennis,
          So, with #7260 I assume that your AC still uses R12.  My  #7171
  does
  too.  The practical and politically incorrect option that is elegantly
  simple is to check your local Craigslist for R12 Freon.  Old genuine
  R12 is
  still out there.  As the demand for it is quite low, the price of it
  has
  returned to earth compared to the early days before and after the R135
  transition.  Just buy some real R12 and use it without any of the
  worrisome
  considerations of substitutes.  I used pound of freon to top off the
  Pantera
  before the run to Houston.

  Here is the link, seems it should work without much retrofit. I don't
  know a
  lot about AC systems. Any thoughts from those that do?
