RUYSENAARS,

I am sorry if I came off harsh. It's just that I have explained this same ol' thing over and over and over.

These junk refrigerants have their downsides including the inability to circulate the lubricant properly.

I won't elaborate further. I've elaborated in so many threads, that I just don't have it in me any more.

R12 can be had for less than $15 per pound nowdays. For the difference in price between R12 and one of the junk refrigerants or 134, you can't even buy a filter drier for most cars. Stay with R12 and you have a refrigerant that will not only cool well but will also contribute to the longevity of your a/c system.

Have a great day,

I am surely going to check all of my options to make sure I get it a cheaper price. From what you guys are saying, I may be getting ripped off. Thank you for the heads up. I am going to check all of the AC repair shops to see what they can do.

mbnezgoodyear,

Check out Stan Keutz in La Vernia, Tx. just east of San Antonio. Probably about half an hour from you. Ph. 830-217=4170. He is a German trained MB mechanic that knows as much or more than any BM mechanic I have talked to. He can trouble shoot your A/C system and probably fix it while you wait.

Larrybible, the store has about 18 cases left in stock of the cans and they have to order the 30 pound cylinder I believe, they told me once the cans are gone they probably cant get any more.The store is called BI LOW Wholesale Inc. 117 S Houston Av. its down close to the police station. It is the cheapest price I have found yet.

Larrybible I called the store again to confirm the price of 30 lbs. and the guy must of told me wrong cans are 19.95 and 30lbs is 599.00 instead of 247.00.He quoted me the price of r134A instead of r12 I thought it sounded cheap I was going to purchase 30 lbs and store it. It seems like r134A is going up in price every day it is up to 300.00 now.

I'm not surprised. That was just too cheap on the 30 pounds. In todays market $247 for 30 pounds of 134 is a VERY good price though. I just bought a jug for my Dad at $289 and was happy to find it.

Have a great day,

R12 is about $14-20/lb that I've seen, depending where you shop.
