Mixing other refrigerants with R12 in an ice machine is not recommended. Different refrigerants have varying properties, which can lead to system inefficiencies, damage, or even failure. Additionally, mixing refrigerants can violate environmental regulations and complicate maintenance or repairs. It's best to use the specified refrigerant for optimal performance and compliance.

Can you recharge the freon in your 1995 cavalier?

Freon R12 refrigerant is so very expensive that I recommend you have the A/C converted to R134a. But first you must have the leak repaired. The shop will then remove any R12 left in the system, flush the system to remove the old oil, install fresh oil that is compatible with R134a, and charge the system. If there is any R12 left they may pay you to recover it.


What kind of freon goes in a Ford Taurus 93?

It came equipped with R12 Freon. R12 is extremely expensive as it is no longer produced. I suggest you have your A/C converted to operate on R134a. Any professional A/C shop can do this. You are asking this question so undoubtedly you have a leak, and the leak must be repaired before adding refrigerant. It is illegal to do otherwise.It came equipped with R12 Freon.

What kind of freon does a 1990 model gmc truck take?

It should be R12 Freon unless it was retrofitted to the new freon R134A since you haven't been able to buy R12 for several years it has probably been retrofitted. If not you can buy the kit at any parts store. it's mainly just a different type of fitting. The ones in the kit just screw onto the old ones.


Can you charge your AC with R12 freon yourself?

You have to have a permit to buy R12 and it is very expensive. Any system that uses R12 can use 134 the replacement for R12. You will need adapters that screw onto the old fittings that accept the hose that hooks to the 134 can. You add freon to the low side of the system. The adapter are different sizes so you cannot put it in the high pressure side. Yes, if you have any mechanical knowledge at all, you should be able to charge the system without much trouble. OR you can buy all the R12 you like for cheap from Mexican sources and keep the longevity of your original equipment and lower operating pressures of R12. They way your system was designed. R12 comes in everyday by the truckload thanks to our new open border laws.

You can't. You have to be Section 608 certified and licensed to buy CFC12 (R12) in any quantity. Your best bet is to either convert it to R134a or R414b.
