R-12 conversion to Enviro-safe

[Andrew Sitzer]

Oh, btw, of course you should never add r-12 to a leaky system, but adding
envirosafe to a leaky one is even worse, as it will leak out quicker.
Generally, if your AC system is nonleaky (ie, you spent time+money to fix
it) then you can afford a couple pounds of r12 (around $30/lb) .. if it is
leaky, then adding envirosafe is a waste anyway (as it will stop working a
week later <BTDT :>
