First thing to do is fix the leak, you asshole.

Who said it leaked?

It was empty a year or so ago, and prior to that, it hadn't been run for a few years, because the compressor "wouldn't start"...

--he posted as much at that time...

Mabee he wanted to improve the efficiency of the system???

Yeah sure thing, pal....

Or mabee, like me, he relocated the unit and needed to empty it in order to make the move.

He couldn't figure out how to pump it down even if his life depended on it.

Now that it is all sealed up and evacuated he's wondering, "do I, or don't I??"

So you really think the cheapskate owns a vacuum pump and also knows how to braze ?

--because if he did, he wouldn't be asking about r22 substitutes in the first place...

It's a *leaker*, and currently, it's inoperable because the LP safety has (again) tripped.

Guaranteed.
