FR-34

Accidently posted this on off topic. (OOPS) Has anybody used FR-34? I have heard that you wouldn't have to change anything using this refrigerant.

Re: FR-34 (Tom Johnson)

Never heard of FR-34. Checked the EPA site http://www.epa.gov/spdpublc/title6/snap/macssubs.html and they do not have a listing for it.

Re: FR-34 (Tom Johnson)

I've used it this past summer. Its seems to work but I don't think it gets as cold as the other stuff R-14? Didn't have any problems charging the system. Also, it was inexpensive... :chevy

Re: FR-34 (My75Vette)

I'm using Freeze-12 myself. It operates @ near R-12 pressures and carries the mineral oil originally used in the system, so there's next to nothing to do as a drop-in replacement. However, if you have a leaking system, this stuff will fractionate and could raise havoc with your compressor. Anything other than real freon is a gamble but @ $20/can for R-12, I felt it was worth it.
