What refrigerant to use in 1993 F-150?

The factory installed OEM refrigerant was R12 Freon. As Freon is extremely expensive and no longer in production, I suggest you have this vehicle converted to R134a. Seek help from a professional for the conversion and repair of the leak you must have or you wouldn't be adding refrigerant. You will be money ahead rather than just adding R12 to a leaking system which BTW is illegal.

What is the freon capacity for the air conditioning system and compressor oil on a 1998 H1 Hummer?

First off, it does not contain Freon. Freon is R12 and your Hummer contains R134a which is not Freon. This is not a DIY job. If it is low of refrigerant then it has a leak, and it is illegal to add refrigerant without repairing the leak. I suggest you take the vehicle to a professional that has the expertise and special tools to accomplish this repair.

What are the dangers of breathing freon fumes inside leaking from your ac unit?

Freon is a nerve gas and will cause you to twitch over time. More immediate effects would be death by asphyxiation. Freon is heavier than air and if breathed it will settle in the bottom of your lungs and not come out. Have your Technician check your system and if he adds freon but does not fix the leak fire him immediately and please contact the EPA for this is very dangerous and illegal. Not to mention the fact that it is a huge rip-off to the customer.


What does a compressor do on a car?

An AC compressor compresses the freon and circulates the freon through the system. An air ride compressor pumps compressed air into air bags to level the vehicle and/or alter the handling of the vehicle.
