[Shotimes] A/C question

[Mark Mucher]

Mike,

I agree but where does one stop buying stuff?

You get the gauges but until you get evacuation, recharge, leak detection,
etc. you'll still need to go to an A/C shop at some point...

I'll bite the bullet but just wanted to see if there was a little something
I could do to put it off.

The cans they sell at Wally World are devoid of instructions and the web
sites talk of conversion but not topping up.

But you can't just do that.  You might not need the whole can.  I don't
think the system will refuse more refrigerant when it is full on it's own.
You need gages to do it correctly.  I'm about to buy a set, as my car needs
more too.
