No mechanical reason you can't, just legal reasons - > it's the rules. --snip-- I got the sense from reading the pubs that it was a loophole introduced by omission that was then acknowledged after the fact- it's legal to convert from R-134a because they failed to forbid it. In other words they addressed the requirement that an R-12 system, if converted, must be converted to R-134a and at the time just didn't address the fact that they left further conversions wide open. I could be wrong but that's the way it seemed to me. Robert |
