[Healeys] Air conditioning?

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

>From the EPA website:

"...The following people can only buy refrigerant found suitable for use in 
a motor vehicle air conditioner (for example, R-12, R-406A, R-414A, R-414B, 
etc.), including "small cans" containing less than 20 pounds of R-12:

technicians certified to service motor vehicle air-conditioners
(MVACs) by a Section 609 EPA-certified testing organization ..."

>From what I understand in the law, although R12 is no longer produced it can 
be reclaimed, cleaned, and reused by certified technicians.  R22 has a 
phase-out date of 2020 but I could not find any date for R12.
