I dont know,other than the ozone layer,what the problem was with R-12.I pulled a refrigerated trailer for 15 years.There were times I had to have the reefer unit fixed.Now I dont know what the law said,but the mechanic at one of those shops said(could have been lying)that unless it leaked a certain amount(all of the freon in less than a few months)they didnt have to fix it? I had to have a compressor put on,I was in Memphis.They didnt hook a reclaimer to it,just unhooked a line.Twice,since the"technician"messed up and I had to go back to Memphis and get another"technician"to fix it right. So,if these clowns do that,what is the EPA talking about?In a lot of cases I think a technician is just a name for thief,and I was a mechanic myself.There are good and bad ones. Just my opinion,but I think it was all a farce to charge more money for R-12,then replace it. These people have to get a certification,have a reclaimer,all that.Then open up a line,plus the EPA tells them-you dont need to fix a small leak?Sure,they dont want to fix a small leak,since you allready were forced to go to them to get R-12 they were selling it for 90 dollars a pound,but not required to fix a small leak?Yeah right.It could have been a lie,but there are laws that are not made to work for individuals.They are made to work for big companies.When there are only 2 reefer companies in the country,its not much competition.Especially since one of those companies dont even act like they know they make reefers. I have also been to shops that used a reclaimer. Seems to me that they didnt get the word about not fixing small leaks. I dont know who to believe.I know enough about it to add my own,and replace an expansion valve if it bolts in.
