All u really need to change are the 2 fittings for the lines and charge 75%of the r12 fill with the r134, shit should make ice

blehhh i have a leak somwhere in the system, my and my friend pressured the system to make sure it holds pressure but nope, theres a leak, i know theres stuff u can put in it to see where its leaking from, but wats the most common place for a leak?

the system.






just convert to r123 and save time

any o ring can leak, the rubber for the lines can crack and leak, evaporator, condenser, and compressor all can leak. the aluminum lines can get holes in them and leak.

u need to put some gas in and oil with tracer to see where its really leaking from.
