Have successfully converted my van's a/c system to R-134A. 1st attempt blew a hose after a while. Had them rebuilt with modern barrier hose. I went with an 80% charge but the hi-pressure switch runs the fan on high a lot. The EPA web site on conversion mentions using a cutoff switch on the compressor to control excessively high pressures. Anyone have any thoughts on or experience with this? Tom Smith 83.5 Westie |
