No. The problem is that it is extremely expensive, I can't get it myself
legally, I am not permitted to work with it. Now this is not much of a
problem if your A/C system is in perfect working order, but all my cars are
older, and have slow leaks. The leak could be repaired at considerable
expense, or a re-charge can be done about once a year. Re-charge used to be
cheap, it no longer is, and I believe it is illegal to add R-12 to any
system with a leak, i.e. if you need a re-charge, a leak must be identified
and repaired prior to getting more R-12 put in the car than will come out of it.
That's why it has been a living hell. I have not used George's refrigerant,
as I don't have an immediate need, but I have 3 cars that could use it.
Just knowing an alternative is available is a relief to me. I know people
that have used it, and they were very satisfied.
