I have been visiting the R-406A/GHG-X4 web page every now and then to see
what it up with that product, but I don't know if this is the "stuff" that
Joel was referring to. R-406A and GHG-X4 are replacements for R-12 that are
fully compatible with R-12 systems. R-406A is already approved for "stationary/
transport (cargo) refrigeration". GHG-X4, a variation for automotive AC
systems, has been submitted to EPA for mobile (automotive) approval. GHG-X4
has also been submitted to ASHRAE for an R number and safety classification.


My dealer quoted me a price of about $125 for recharging my Vanagon's AC.
Ouch!!  I am anxiously waiting to see what GHG-X4 will cost and for its EPA
approval...


If anyone wants to visit the R-406A/GHG-X4 web page, it's URL is
http://worldserver.com/R406A. I have no connection with the company at all...
