Re: another "cool" thread?
Why not just keep with R12? I think you can still get it off the internet, is it just pricy though? I want to say R12 is better than the R134a because it operates at a lower pressure, but I could be wrong.

Re: another "cool" thread?
The only way to check for a leak is to pull vacuum on the system and see if it holds. You need a vacuum pump to do this. How do you pull vacuum on a system by crossing wires?
