10 cans of R12 freon for $110 good price? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Someone I know has 10 cans of R12 freon for $110. That's a good price, right? Does it go bad or leak out?

**leddzepp** · 06-28-2020, 12:22 AM

Buy it

It doesn’t go bad. As long as the cans are sealed you are good to go.

Its a real good buy. I just paid 300 for 18 cans and thought it was a good deal.
Weigh the cans, they can and do leak down, can itself weighs about on a 14oz can weights 3.1 oz. i charged a truck today and weighed the cans before and after.

Buy it. I bought a sealed 30 pounder about 7 years ago for $250 and feel like I stole it.

11 bucks each?
That's a great deal. !!!
Buy them all, and ask if they know where to find more!!!

**DA71Grande** · 06-28-2020, 07:41 AM

Really good deal I just paid $85 for 3 cans

**FL71C10** · 06-28-2020, 12:01 PM

All right, I got 11 cans for $100, plus a 4 oz can of oil

Good deal . I have two 30 pounders bought them just before they stop selling it. Uncle bought 20 or so for his shop. If I remember correctly it was 60 bucks for the 2. I have opened one to top off my Studebakers and used about 2 lbs in suburban.

Wow, you are like the Hunt Brothers of freon. You are set for life.

I bought a 30 pounder right before California legislated (or maybe it was Federal) that you had to have a license to buy it, some time around '88. I went to CostCo to get a tank, because they used to sell it. Somebody bet me to it and bought all they had- 2 pallets worth. I got mine at Pep Boys, and it was their last one or I would have bought more. I paid $260 for it, and I'm almost out.

I only have 3 cars that use it. My uncle went though his because of the collision aspect and lots of cars were still r12. He did get a license for it but it was stupid high the price for a 30 lb tank

**Boog** · 06-29-2020, 07:22 AM

I guess I need to see how much I have left and do something with it. I don't expect to ever need the 12 again. I also have most of a 30# tank of R22 left I need to do something with.
Are there any concerns or hurdles to deal with shipping compressed containers like these?

I'd be leary about it actually being R12 and not some blend froma third world supplier
