@TL_V70 how do I get hold of r134a

TL_V70

Hi James I beleive you will need a business which holds a RTA ( Refrigerant Trading Authorisation ) from ARCTICK. Not a super easy thing that's why Hy Chill exists.

Or unless you know someone who knows someone than can make a bottle disappear of the back of a truck😉

It's all the emissions red tape in Australia that make it hard for an individual to purchase it.

Even I cant buy it as I only Have a Refrigerant Handling Licence as I don't have my own business.

TL_V70 they track the serial numbers of every single bottle now…plus you also need to account for all the gas you evacuate.

We are meant to have records of all gas we use and recover but in my 4 years at a Rio Mine site thay have never cared to do it.

It's sad as their a too bigger of fish to deal with from the regulations side so the Gumbyment just harass and fine the small business world as their an easy target. Hence all the tracking and audits they do.

yeh i just use the hychill i think , i will gas up car soon but just waiting on a temp gauge and some uv dye to get delivered in the day or 2 , thought i would put some dye in just incase i need in the future .

Hey guys sorry for very delayed response , got busy at work (and had to get temp gauge and dye ), and cold weather so wife was not onto me .lol

okay recharged system with hychill , first start car compressor running Low - 30 h - 120 which is correct to hychill specs , air temp drops to 5 deg c from anbient temp of 20 deg c but after 5 - 10 min Low climbs to 70 , H drops 100, warm air and compressor /clutch is still running it doesnt seem to be cycling on and off . when i restart car process seems to repeat . With engine off pressures are the same at 90psi

thanks again for any help
