GOing to redo my ac system. Has new evaporator. Got 3 cans of refridgerant and a 3oz of ester oil. What else right capicity?
I am not sure how true this is but i have heard that SOME cans of freon have added "sealer" in them that is supposed to seal any leaks but has been known to clog the a/c system. And in 1 case at the dealership my dad said it has gummed up the a/c machine when he did the sucky outy part (cant think of the name) I have never used the cans before as my dad has a big a/c machine at his dealership. but I'm just throwing that out there.

Should I replace all orings first? Do I need a manifold to do this or one of those ones you screw onto the top of the can?
I am going to be doing this soon as well and think I have all the parts and orings but after all the reading I have done, I still don't have a clue if I should use old r12 cans or just convert the system to the new stuff.
Another thing I didn't even think of until I came across somebody elses post by accident is, what about a working but used compressor and all of its seals. It sounds like its best to start fresh if you are with everything else and you can get a kit for the orings and seals and you can replace them by breaking the unit down?
I haven't looked up that info yet, but it sounds like we are in the same boat and it would probably be best to do that.
Oh and another thing is I blindly bought some air compressor based vac puller, but now that I think about it, I doubt my home unit has enough power to run that sucker for any length of time?
