Your fooling yourself.  You have a leak.  That is where the
R12 that was in there went.  Rather than wasting your money
on the "new stuff" by having it leak out again, take your van
to a qualified tech. Have them reclaim the rest of the R12
rather than polluting, find and fix the leaks, and recharge.
