A Saab shop here in Atlanta Recently had a bad experience with the blends. Unbenownest to them they reclaimed the blend into thier machine and ruined the reclaimer and cost them a thousand dollars (on top of the cost of repairing the machine) to have the cotaminated freon disposed of.I know this does not affect most of you but please try to stay away from these . I have been doing 134 conversions for a year and a half and had no compresors go south or advers reations with the exception that some cars don't cool as well(Greasy thinks it is due to smaller condensors). Did a 134 convert on a 87 325 just today and had vent temp in mid 30's I have not done any on 81 and oler cars
