134a Refrigerant

I still have a small retail can of R-12 laying around my garage somewhere.
I'm holding onto it until I can donate it to a museum...

Hi Sandman,
Sure he's exaggerating, and I see it being sold for about half the
four hundred I paid Pep Boys for it ten years ago:

I saw a big SWAT team action on the San Diego border over a bottle,
killed them dead. What can you buy if for, and from what country?

I actually feel a little guilty about the amount of freon I've let
escape. although they haven't convinced me that's responsible for our
ozone holes. That's just our natural tree's carbon dioxide change to the
ice age, that's been recorded over thirty times in our earth's natural
history.

i havent bought any in awhile but its nowhere near $900 a pound. besides,
it just doesnt make any sense to buy 12 when you have so many other choices,
and many are superior to 12 at a fraction of the cost. 414b ("hot shot") is
a perfect example, as is 416a. i would even run 502 before spending the
money for 12.

im not saying that what you say isnt true, but its ridiculous considering
the many available alternatives. for those that are still running 12
systems, even hot shot has a lower boiling point than 12 (cools better than
12). youd be amazed at what you can do with propane. :-)

actually, Now that I think about it, it is for a 30LB bottle. I'm always
buying wholesale, and that's what I buy 30LB, so I stand corrected....DOOH!!
