WalMart - Mobil 1



I have found that they just have them sometimes.  The "sales staff" really
has no idea as to when they will get them again.  It was about 2 months
after they said they had no clue what I was talking about, when a whole
pallette appeared on the floor.  When I see it I buy 3-4 of them.

>> Hey Roccer's,
>>     I'm all out of R-12.  I got the retrofit kit from
>> Wal-Mart for $33.95 (autoparts stores want about $50 for it).
>>  My understanding is that I should hook up a vacuum to the
>> system to pull out any moisture, air, residual R-12, etc.
>> How much vacuum should I pull?  If I do pull a vacuum on it,
>> will the fittings still close, or will I loose the vacuum as
>> soon as I disconnect the pump?  If that's what happens, how
>> do I get around it?
>>
>> Sincerely;
>> Brian Haygood
