The desiccant in the reciever/drier will absorb the moisture, and the small amount of air is harmless. But you DO have to flush the old oil from the system and blow the solvent out (do not attempt to flush out the compressor). It makes a mess. Some 134A-compatible stop leak won't hurt, either. You can buy reto-fit kits that contain everything but the alcohol solvent (including adapters that make your R-12 valves compatible with 134A recharging kits). Dan > >Earle > |
