Freeze 12

What is probably a stupid question: In an R 12 system, may one add Freeze 12 without changing any fittings or evacuating the system first? In other words, say the system is just down a bit, can one use the Freeze 12 with the existing R 12 in the system? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Not only is it a bad idea it is not legal. Mark

Not only is it a bad idea and not legal, but you will have trouble finding an AC shop to service it and to evacuate your "contaminated" R-12.

If the system is "down a bit" take it to a shop, fix the leak, than recharge with R-12.

Freeze 12 is 80% R134. You dont want to mix it with anything else.

You guys are nuts. You can use Freeze12 as an add-in to your R12 system - that's what it was made for. People do it all the time.
