Re: Freeze 12 Experience?[700/1990] posted by Paul on

I've used Freeze12 two years now without a problem, I purchased a 90 E350 Ford van from a friendly wrecking yard two years ago, drove it home and directly to a friends shop where he put in 2 cans of Freeze12 right on top of what was left of the R12. I've had no problems with the mix of the two, they advertise the two can intermix.
Cost is roughly double what a can of 134A will cost, about 12 bucks a can. What you don't have to do as with the 134A is flush the system, add new oil or change any orifice tubes etc. So the actual cost is a lot less than a 134A conversion.
What is nice, the Freeze12 works as well as old R12, the 134A conversions don't really work as well as you would like. If you live below the Mason Dixon line, don't even think about a 134A conversion.
