The fella that painted my truck is a life long professional mechanic, he says that the new 134A will very likely not slowly leak down from my compressor like R12 did. Says he's done a few, no issues yet. He wants to do mine when warmer weather arrives. I have an extra compressor sealed up, not locked up.

Not to contradict I am sure he is more knowledgeable than I. But I thought I might have heard the opposite. That 134a molecules were smaller than r12. Don’t know for sure just throwing it out maybe get a confirmation one way or the other

I searched Craigslist. Always someone cleaning the garage. I know from a friend mechanic that when he evacuated a system for me (134a) one of the first questions he asked me was if it had sealer in it. They seem to frown on that. Don’t have a lot of experience with ac he helps me out at times and has the machine to evac the systems for me.

I found this: RS-24 - RS CoolRS Cool ... RS-24 or R426A ... never heard of this.
Then I run up on this Frostycool 12A stuff at Wholesale Refrigerant - Cheap R22 Freon, R22a, R410a, R12a, R134a Replacement (frostycool.com)
