Home freon and R-12 freon for vehicles (yes) but not R134a freon which you can get at any autozone..................
There is one valve that is used to add refrigrant. But you had better not add Freon. Freon is R12 and your vehicle's A/C system does not have Freon (R12) as a refrigrant. More than likely it uses R134a.
There are 16 ounces to a pound. Doesn't matter if it's one pound of dirt or one pound of bricks.
Please note, Freon is the name of R-12 (Dichlorodifluoromethane) which was used prior to the change in 1993 to R134A (hydrofluorocarbon). Your Chevy does not use Freon, it uses the refrigerant R134A. If you are planning on servicing it yourself, I would suggest getting a dispenser with a gauge on it. The one thing you do not want to do is overcharge a system. You can purchase R134A from a local auto parts store.
I have no idea what r134a is, but there are sixteen ounces in a pound of ANYTHING. A pound is sixteen ounces. No matter what it is a pound of. A pound of feathers would be much larger than a pound of steel, but both would weigh exactly sixteen ounces.
Under the hood on the truck will be a label that lists how many ounces the truck requires. You can then compare to the amount in one can to decide how many to use.
AnswerWhat year? There are two types for cars R12 for cars up to 1993 It no longer made and if anyone has any they can charge you $100 to $150 per pound The other is R134a for cars after 1993 An older car MUST be retrofitted to R134a for $100 to $500 depending on what needs to be replacedfreonthere is only one type of freon. It's freon it will work in any vehicleTotally incorrect! There are several different kinds of "FREON" freon is actually a trade name of Dupont for R22... Not an overall refrigerant. Anyone who has the certification to work on refrigeration equipment of any size will tell you it needs to be replaced with R134a. R12 is a refrigerant that destroys the ozone and has been banned by the EPA. FYI if anyone is caught putting R12 in for you they and you can be stuck with pretty hefty fines as well.
For example on a 2000 model C280 depending on the identification end number it can hold between 29.9 ounces up to 33.5 ounces, need more information so that I can pinpoint which one you have.................
1. The a/c system may be low on freon because on R134a systems being just a couple of ounces low can cause this.. 2. The evaporator may be restricted, if so then it will need to be replaced.. 3. In side a/c - heater control doors are leaking and or not working correctly..
One cup is 8 ounces!
There should be a sticker under the hood indicating whether it uses R12 or R134A. Unfortunatley a lot dont. The only way to tell is by the high and low side fittings. R12 fittings are bothe the same size. R134A has two different size fittings where one is larger than the other, ussually the high side fitting is larger than the low side.
one pound = 16 ounces eighteen ounces = one pound two ounces
