              I’ve gotten lucky with it, I’m getting about 18mpg with the straight 6.

              Although I need to recharge the AC… and the liquid is illegal to buy now. Apparently I have to get it converted by a professional or something? Still looking into that. Have till summer I suppose

                  Thanks for the advice. How about do I approach the conversion. I assume you have to suck all of the r12 out if there is still residual, and then get an adapter that fits the input? Then check the seal? I know the connections didn’t match the ones for the r134.

                Did they finally ban canned refrigerant in the US?

                AC needs to be fixed, not recharged, that’s how we fixed the ozone layer.

                  Yeah R12 they banned from new vehicles after 94’. Being that my jeep is a 94, it was likely built in 1993. All the cars use 134a or whatever I believe now, but I could be wrong. Maybe there’s something new I haven’t seen yet
