F12 is great, I ran a combo of F12/R12 for a year and a half and it worked like a champ. You only use 80% of the amount of R12 so just a bit over 3 12oz cans is all you need. You will not be able to get a pro to pull a vacuum or evacuate the system once the F12 is in there, and that is about the only downside. You do need to have or know someone with a license to buy it.

I only went back to R134 because the compressor locked up and my buddy who had the license to buy the F12 let it expire. You can get a R134 system running pretty well but you need a new compressor, an expansion valve, and dryer.

However if the compressor is not converted and still has good seals, and you can get the system leak free. F12/R12 is still the best option IMOH.

Keep it cool,

Paul
