mr. cob Posted April 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Howdy All, Thought I would up date this thread, I went down to the local auto parts store expecting to buy a do it yourself recharge kit; as I endure living in the Peoples Republik of Washington, this can no longer be done, these types of products have been outlawed and can't be bought or sold in the PRoW, gotsta save the childern, the planet and the polar bears I guess.

R134a is 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane. Here are the new rules for R-134a going forward. https://www.epa.gov/snap/snap-regulations Since I retired, I have not been keeping up with SNAP regulations. I did find one article that says not to mix the R134a with any synthetic R-134a. You will need to totally remove all the original R134a and evacuate the system. Also look to see what oils are now compatible with the new refrigerant. The strange thing was back when R134a was first introduced by DuPont, I noticed that R134a had a very high GWP (global warming potential) and figured it would eventually be replaced.
