R-12 question
Does anyone know of a reliable source for small, automotive size, cans of R-12. I don't like to get stuff like that on ebay so looking for another source.

Search around for a place that can certify you to buy and possess it and you can buy all you want at auto A/C supply stores.
If you can pass the test, and you probably can, that is all it takes. At least, that's the way it was the last time I looked into it.

In my town almost any refrigeration place has it. Its not cheaper, actually had been for some time, than R134a. Its legal to put in a system that was made with it, just can not use on any new systems. I would just call around a few refrigeration places and see if they can load it up in a can or even the car itself.

I have the universal CFC certification and the automotive certification so that parts not a problem. My problem is that so far the only way I have found it locally is in the standard jug that cost 3 or 4 hundred and I only want a few cans. I wish I could use R-22, I have a lot of that.

Some Napa locations sell them. I know at the one I used to work at we had a ton of it, and we all got the schpiel about not selling to non-EPA certified customers, etc. etc.

Craigslist, $15 to $20 per can. If there aren't any on there, I just go to NAPA and show them my EPA card. But NAPA typically wants $30+ per can!

Not positive, but I think it's pretty much all old stock.
