Is there a test strip or some way to tell if the contents of a recycling tank is R12 or R134?
Scored a Snap On refrigerant recovery system at a swap meet today for cheap. I will be happy if it simply functions as a vaccuum pump. However, the fellow said he had used it int the junkyard to recover R12 from older cars and the tank has quite a bit in it.
My coach is R12 right now and funtioned when I got it a little over a year ago. It still has pressure but is low. I suspect a slow leak at the compressor. I would like to keep it R12. If i have to convert it I will go with duracool.It would be nice if the R12in the tank is usable given the cost. I know about the problems mixing the two [although several friends have done so with no problems for several years I dont want to risk that] so wondering if there was a way to tell what it is with any degree of certainty
