RE: R12 etc.
Even though I will probably switch to Freeze 12 or Duracool or some such
next spring, a word of caution:  MOST SHOPS WITH THE EQUIPMENT TO PROPERLY
WORK ON YOUR AC SYSTEM WON'T TOUCH YOU WITH A TEN FOOT POLE!.
Especially if you have used any of the 'sealant' additives.  If it isn't
R-12 or R-134 most shops testing and recovery equipment can't handle it, and
in fact can be damaged by the other stuff.
