Anyone still using FRIGC FR-12 "Alternative" refrigerant?

"FR-12 refrigerant in 9.6oz. cans.

Purchase of this product requires EPA 609 License Certification. You will be asked to provide your license number at checkout.

NOTE: If you are planning on buying more than 10 cylinders or 10 cases (120 cans) of any refrigerant, please call for volume pricing discounts.

(Not allowed in Wisconsin.)"

Still contains R-134a, "FRIGC FR-12 39% HCFC-124, 59% HFC-134a, 2% butane FRIGC"

Still have to change the accumulator/receiver to an R-134a compatible type and should flush the system out as well, especially in a 16+ year old vehicle.

And with a price tag of eleven bucks for a nine ounce can of the stuff, not really worth it. Really do not understand the benefits of it.

A shorter answer would be simply, NO!

Nice cut and paste, that is unless you're selling this stuff?

Reason I ask is we have like 15 cylinders of this stuff. We tested it for the manufacture years ago and it works OK. They gave us these cylinders and I figured if someone is using it still! I could let it go at a very nice price.
