Re: can not locate ac freon leak.

Easy enough today or this is a new leak???

The hose from sanden to condenser is leaking at the fitting. as in the tube to the crimping area. Not the o'ring, not the hose (no leak at the crimp but it could be and forcing it out the aluminum tub end of the fitting)

anyway,, it is a #8 fitting and hose. Not sure why this one fitting/crimp failed but I will try again..

Okay,, 9th times a charm.

Crimed a new hose. I use the master cool kit and normally bottom it out as the mark they give is know to not be enough and will leak.


Thought i would post how much freon and temps for any future readers;

~42 ounces
Low side= 26 psi
High side= ~240

vent temp ~45
suction line temp =~52
