Air conditioner refrigerant replacement

[Dave Fain <KC3565L@sprintmail.com>]

There is an interesting web site devoted to air conditioner
refrigerant substitutes at http://autofrost.com/
A professor at Purdue University named George Gobel (no relation
to spooky old Alice) has invented a substitute for R-12 that
looks pretty interesting and is now on the market.  I am too
busy dealing with a bad throwout bearing and leaky water pump
to worry about how well the air conditioner on my 4000 Quattro
works, but some of you who are more literate on the subject
than I am might want to check it out.  Besides, the temperature
here in Denver is presently about 40 degrees (on June 5) and I
am thinking of dusting off the snow shoes one more time.
