Just a reminder to all Freon folks that the reason behind the increase in cost of Freon is that its phase out is due to the Montreal Protocol an international agreement reached in the late 80's that essentially banned all chlorofuorocarbons (except for medical and some agricultural use) because of their implication in the destruction of the ozone layer. So... continuing to use Freons is just contributing to the accelerated destruction of the ozone layer (cataracts ,skin cancer... talk to any Australian about this). -- Dan Erlandson Flemington, NJ > danoer1@eclipse.net 91 VW Vanagon GL 170,000 mi (chilling on 134a) 99 VW Passat 107,000 mi
