Ferrari Mailing List: Anybody got knowledge about AC recovery systems

[BRITT ROTHMAN (britt2asa]

Hi guys,

Does anyone have knowledge of AC recovery systems? Basically, I need to drain the r12 from the car to change the expansion valve. I don’t want to lose the R12. I can’t goto a commercial operator because they don’t want R12 and it’s illegal to put back in the car.

I want to buy the equipment to drain the system into a tank and then pump it back in when the repair is made. I have a good AC vacuum pump but it’s not going to work to do this so what do I need to buy? It should be simple, a pump to pull it out and stick it in a container. I think I can buy a container here in Sweden ( they aren’t cheap and I don’t see a way to air fright such a think so I have to buy it here) but what about the pump. 

Is that what a machine like this does? Anybody have any experience in this?
