    Maybe it's a good idea to avoid cars using the highly explosive R-1234yf refrigerant. That stuff is $1000/tank compared to $100 for 134a so it's clear what the yf stands for, and it's not "yer fine".

    Great, I started AC servicing on my R12 vehicles then discovered ES12 enviro safe. Now I've got a second hand recovery 134 system. I did get the adapters for my gauge set so I could enter 1234. So it appears the oil is compatible with 134 so all we have to do is evacuate and service with 134 on a 1234 system and all as well?
    I have connected to three different vehicles that are 1234 one of them I use that enviro safe supplement to top off and it did its magic. Do you have long-term evidence of any or no effect converting or reverting back to 134 from the 1234 system?

    He didn't "convert" jack shit.
    He simply filled up a R1234 system with R134....and it only took 3 weeks for the reason WHY you can't do that to begin to surface.

    Just want to let you all know - I have a 2019 300s, and did the 134a conversion about 4 years ago - it is still running great. Had a schrader valve leak but still blows colder than 1234yf.

      Do not do it. You cannot put R134 into a R1234 system. You CAN put R1234 in a R134 system, though I dont know why anyone would do that.

    I found this on the internet
    Can I use R-134a instead of 1234yf?
    While you might be thinking you're doing the environment a solid, do not do it. It is illegal to convert an R12 or 134a system to 1234yf.Aug 20, 2019
    as well as this
    The expansion valve setting for R-1234yf refrigerant is different compared to R-134a. Changing from R-1234yf to R-134a refrigerant may result in a system with incorrect refrigerant flow and heat exchanger mal-distribution which may cause a loss of cooling performance or durability concerns.

    • @azmrblack
      @azmrblack Рік тому +2

      Well many people have done it with Chrysler vehicles including me and it works much better. Go searching for how Cadillac did 1234yf the first year, it didn't work right, and they just refilled them with 134a - no component swaps. The system is basically the same. Yes there are slight differences, but apparently not big enough to make a difference - yet. Is it legal? No. But the EPA isn't exactly going to be knocking down your door because you did it.

    I can't believe this is still posted. In the USA it is illegal to change over 1234yf to 134at is a $2,500 fine per offense government fine. What happens when the next owner takes it to the dealer and there a/c machine checks the type of Freon is in it.
