A/C Q for whoever may know....

[vze3pj7t@verizon.net (MrAudi)]

something i did not mention...it is not acceptable to use hot shot to top
off a R12 system. all the old R12 must be removed from the system. hot shot
is made up of R22, which is most commonly found in household appliances. and
is also has very small amounts of propane and some other refrigerants that i
can't remember off the top of my head. because it is a mixture of different
refrigerants, it must always be charged as a liquid, otherwise you will
change the characteristics of it greatly.
