Air Conditioning

California has figured out yet another way to squeeze money out of us. They have passed a law that requires air conditioning containers to be refillable and tacked a $10 deposit onto them, which you can only get back within 90 days.

I went through 4 of these containers in the process of trying to get the air in the Jimmy to work.

The first one leaked out pretty much immediately out of one of the fittings after the hoses were disconnected. So I bought a new fitting.

After most of the second can was half in the in the car, we had the car running and air cycling, when I noticed that when the air cycled, some gas was leaking out of the cap over the fitting. Tightening it did not get rid of the leak completely, so we has to let all the gas out to remove the fitting to put teflon tape over the threads.

Third can went in OK, and it needed most of can four as well.
