I would feel or see cold or hot on one of the hoses though right?
I'm so confused -it's like the same thing it did last time --charged worked for a bit then starting getting warm then wouldn't take a charge-as the gauge reads it's over charged now --if the compressor is working right?
going to the 2-60 air system

use the freon hoses from my gauges to push it into a canister?

yeah freezing the bottle will assist it I'm sure-gonna check into the freon recovery with an old compressor off a fridge or something though-bet there is something on the internet redneck recovery ???

system probably has a leak, and you keep adding freon, withou vacumeing down the system. if you keep adding freon it won't work. think of it as putting rocks in a glass, then putting in the water, you can still get a drink, but there;'s not a whole lot of water in there TOO drink. mabe should have used beer as the example?
