jsyme Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 R12 is superior to R134a in every way but cost. I have a 1989 GL wagon with 28 oz of R12 freon still in it. <not proven> http://www.techchoiceparts.com/refrigerant-and-oil-capacities/subaru Is it worth it to sell it to a local mechanic who still work with R12? If so what's a fair price? I read this article from the US EPA, God bless them, here: https://www.epa.gov/section608/section-608-technician-certification = lots of new rules come Jan 1 2018 thoughts? comments? ... and go!

Subaru Scott Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The system in my 88 XT body is still charged with R-12. Not planning on touching it until it quits working, but I rarely use it anyway. I skimmed through that article, but all I saw different was the requirement to reclaim and report ALL refrigerants. Am I missing something? Does any shop work with R-12 anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratastick Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 R-12 used to be 99 cents a can, when I was a kid they sold BB machine guns that used the stuff. I've got about half dozen cans thinking about sending it to ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I've seen it on ebay. Depending on $ wouldn't mind having more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
