BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

I was getting things together to get started, new drier, new expansion valve, refrigerant and 'oil..' I was going to draw it down today-- and get to work this afternoon.. My freeze-12 (drop in "Freon" replacement) arrived a couple days ago.. Here's my problem.. Uncapped the lines, to find one has been "retrofitted" to 134a. My questions are: 1) can I just wrench that off?? It looks like it's just a screw on fitting. 2) the BG refrigerant oil is compatible with both 134 AND R-12 "freon" so I'm thinking that isn't an issue.. 3) do I need to replace the receiver drier and expansion valve, and pretty much, go on with my life??

I am seriously considering getting one of Kent's dual tank kits for WVO. I have found two good sources for WVO that put out about 60 gallons a week each into outside drums or a large dumpster kind of thing. The oil looks okay and I can see through it in a sampling jar. I am still letting it settle out. My question is about the exposed dumpster and drums. It could get all kinds of things in it. Sometimes the lids are part off. Is this okay as long as you let it settle for 3 weeks and then filter it carefully? Bill Brewer Tehachapi, CA

Hi everyone, Please ignore the previous post, becuase I discovered that the car starts immediatly if the gear shift is in neutral rather than park. I believe this indicates a faulty neutral saftey switch. Is this the correct diagnosis? Thanks again! mARC
