I am pretty sure Capt J was referring to the fact that R22 systems are replaced by R410 systems which is correct. EPA in America has shut down...
One of the first things I do when I want to get an idea of a system charge or operational issues is to feel the condensing coils (the coil that...
Have you seen the price increase of 22 lately? Last I heard $400 for a 30lb jug that normally went for $130. They are trying to eradicate R22....
If you have scroll compressors, than they should be hot to the touch on top with a proper gas charge and every thing else working right. The one...

To verify your statements, I talked to a mechanic who has rebuilt more marine diesel engines than I have seen and asked him how often he sees...

I do not know. Coolant, sea water, air after your turbo? Can you tell me?
It's alright. It's an engineering thing
I will tell you exactly what I did. I called a friend of mine that works for a leading marine diesel engine repair company in S Florida and asked...
