Re: R12
The short answer is you can't get R12 anymore
It is a CFC and has been banned
There are drop-ins available depending what the system is

Re: R12
What you need to do is get yourself a balloon, a long thin tube and some string.
Tie one end of the thin tube to the balloon with the string and let it float up till it gets to the hole in the ozone layer, this is caused by R12 so once the balloon has reached this height, just suck the R12 down with a vacuum cleaner, if you block the exhaust on the vacuum cleaner it will work just like a recovery machine.

Re: R12
R12 is an illegal substance not only to sell but to use. You would be better off to recover the remaining R12 for destruction, thoroughly leak test the system and repair all leaks that you find. Carry out an OFN pressure test, evacuate the system and re-charge with R413A or Isceon 49 which is available from HRP and other specialist wholesalers. You may need to reduce the quantity of refrigerant slightly, that is if you know the exact weight of refrigerant that was originally installed and you should get the same performance and pressures as with R12 without having to change the oil.

Re: R12
Well he says he is in refrigeration but I have my doubts with his lack of knowledge about R12 and the law.

Questions like this should be ignored as the writer is either taking the you know what, or not & should never be in the trade.
