[Gmecm] OT - alternative refrigerant test... HFC152A

[Jay Vessels]

Hi there!

One other thing -- I was always told that on CCOT A/C systems (almost 
all GM in the 1980s) to put the gas in with the can inverted.  I don't 
know if that's specific to the R12 cans or not, but I noticed you didn't 
seem to bother with that.

Given that the industry is moving to HFC152a, assuming there's no really 
goofy issues with a conversion that we don't yet know about, I suspect 
we'll start seeing kits to do this.

Aside -- Robert, my mother's '96 Lumina (3100 V6) seems to have killed 
its compressor in the same way that you describe...
