I dont know,other than the ozone layer,what the problem was with R-12.I pulled a refrigerated trailer for 15 years.There were times I had to have the reefer unit fixed.Now I dont know what the law said,but the mechanic at one of those shops said(could have been lying)that unless it leaked a certain amount(all of the freon in less than a few months)they didnt have to fix it?
I had to have a compressor put on,I was in Memphis.They didnt hook a reclaimer to it,just unhooked a line.Twice,since the"technician"messed up and I had to go back to Memphis and get another"technician"to fix it right.
So,if these clowns do that,what is the EPA talking about?In a lot of cases I think a technician is just a name for thief,and I was a mechanic myself.There are good and bad ones.
Just my opinion,but I think it was all a farce to charge more money for R-12,then replace it.
These people have to get a certification,have a reclaimer,all that.Then open up a line,plus the EPA tells them-you dont need to fix a small leak?Sure,they dont want to fix a small leak,since you allready were forced to go to them to get R-12 they were selling it for 90 dollars a pound,but not required to fix a small leak?Yeah right.It could have been a lie,but there are laws that are not made to work for individuals.They are made to work for big companies.When there are only 2 reefer companies in the country,its not much competition.Especially since one of those companies dont even act like they know they make reefers.
I have also been to shops that used a reclaimer.
Seems to me that they didnt get the word about not fixing small leaks.
I dont know who to believe.I know enough about it to add my own,and replace an expansion valve if it bolts in.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
