Last year, I added some dye (EFProducts Ester 100) for R134A into my home HVAC system (RF22). Afterwards, I found out that one should not mix them. Should I drain my system and clean the tubing? I have heard that the mix of oils form acids which eat the pipes?
Has anyone else done this and what have you done to fix it?

Don't know what will happen, but I know it is 100% illegal to mix
refrigerants - for what that's worth. The mixture cannot be recovered
- it must be disposed of.
