Re: [MBZ] R134a Alert

I've seen the imported stuff on sale at Menard's for $1.99-3.99 at least once a 
year in recent years. Filled the Saturn with it two years ago and it's still 
going strong. 
The last time I bought it, it was Made in China. 
Previously it had been 'Packaged in USA from imported materials'.

Mitch.

It is kind of like Kimberly Clark abandoning "Kleenex" for a new brand  
"SUP."  Kleenex is the universal word for "snot-rag."

 Freon is/was the universal word for "refrigerant."

Just wondering.

OK, you are talking about the lot of 6 cans.Because a case (12) is 
around $60.   I found the lot of 6 cans for $32.  That is a pretty good 
deal.  What is the difference between SUVA and R134a?

I buy DuPont SUVA as it’s the most consistent stuff out there and I don’t have 
to worry about it being crappy stuff with floor sweepings.  There’s a place in 
Miami that sells it on both eBay and the island of big women for around 
$30/case, shipped.  That’s roughly $5/can.
