Does this contain Propane or similar? R12 and R134a use different o-ring material, oil and orfice tube size. What works best with R12a?

All I know I used this product on my 94 Jeep Cherokee Sport which takes R12 and it works prefect.

it works with others, no problem. I've used giga power, jet boil, and some no-name super cheap army surplus fuel blend with no troubles at all. Never used the coleman blend, but I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well. This stuff looks like its made for one of these stoves, so you should be ok.Coleman Butane / Propane Mix Fuel (Mix Fuel 7.75 oz.) - 7.75 oz.hope this helps.

I'm sorry deland I don't know the answer to that. I bought it thinking that the thermal coupling was the problem, only to discover my propane gas tank had the issue. Therefore, I still haven't used it.

With the right connector you should be able to use any size propane cylinder. The size of the cylinder does not affect the pressure. The pressure gauge should work with propane cylinder of any size.

yes it will work with both but you will need a 1/2 inch Acme female x 1/4 inch male flare adaptor for it to connect to a R134A tank

The burner that I ordered works very well with high pressure propane (like in a gas bottle). "Plug-in gas" tubes in a house use lower pressure, so the orifice size will be wrong, and the regulator will also be wrong. My advice: don't do it.

I am not sure but I would suggest buying the o-ring locally. When I installed the o-ring I purchased from Amazon, I noticed it looked a little larger that the rim of the tank. I didn't think much of it but after I installed, the tank leaked like crazy. It will cost a few more dollars to buy it at a pool store but this is what I will do going forward.

I can only vouch that it works well for R134 and R12. I haven't tried it with any thing else.Manufacturer claims it works with all refrigerants to varying degrees.

It cannot be used with r22 refrigerant. R134a only. Different gauge sets foreach refrigerant.

Hello CC,Thank you for your question. The NG in the product name indicates that it uses natural gas. For propane, search for FVI-12-LP. Here is the link to buy on Amazon: Eccotemp FVI-12-LP High Capacity Propane Tankless Water HeaterKind Regards,RossGadgetsGo305-791-1101

That would probably not be worth the effort. It operates at different pressures so it may need some other mods too; and likely not be as cool as new. R290 comes up in a search at as replacement, but its flammable. The R22's oil wouldn't be compatible with r134 either.

I am using propane with mine. That is the type of regulator that came with mine.

Yes. Any recovery unit will work just fine with propane or butane. Butane, propane and ethane can and are used as refrigerants. No special precautions other than the flammability need to be observed. And for what it is worth, propane is also known as R-290 and butane is also known as R-600 and ethane (used in ultra low cascade systems) is also known as R-170. If you know what you are doing, you can safely use propane in your auto A/C, it works just fine, is a lot cheaper, and if you buy into all that ozone depleting rhetoric, it is safer for the environment. But I've only been in the trade servicing HVAC/R for 30 years, so what do I know. Yes. Any recovery unit will work just fine with propane or butane.

I had the same issue at first. I bought a manifold set off of amazon that was sold as an FJC but it turned out to be a cheap knock off. The hoses were all for R-12 not R-134. The quick connects for the high and low pressure side were 12 to 134 adapters and the only can tap that would fit the yellow line was an old R-12. I sent the cheap gauge set back and purchased an Interdyne AC Pro set and it works perfect.

I am not 100% sure. I received the regulator from Amazon. It had a rubber ring/seal inside the screw cap, which prevented me from attaching the regulator to the propane bottle. When I removed the seal, the regulator worked perfectly. Hope that helps.

Yes, R-134a can be used with this compressor. All the seals and gaskets are compatible with R-134a on modern compressors. However, I wouldn't convert a R-12 system to R-134a. I thought about this myself, and after much research, decided not to do it. R-134a just doesn't perform as well in systems designed for R-12. Plus, to do the conversion correctly and prevent future problems, you would have to have the system flushed with expensive chemicals to eliminate the mineral oil in the condenser and hoses. In addition, R-12 has come down in price recently, try craigslist or Ebay.

Hi Paul, this kit can also be used on R12 valves. It has a special adapter.
