    wonder the earth is still here way some blokes toss off doubt there would of been any gas in they system anyway if the comp was rooted. Any of you ever tried calling up the plumbing board and dogging in air cond plumbers for cutting the pipes on old r22 split system aircons being replaced you reckon they give a **** now days r22 is worth something they will spend the 2 days pumping it down in the early 2000's the time lost was more important $$? What happens in an accident, when a car is hit in the front?
    If you push in the schroeder valve on the big pipe does any gas come out if yes and you want to be a goodie goodie go get it evacuated by your local auto sparky, how many panel shops get the ac evacuated when they want the condenser out or did it break in the accident?

    Thanks for the rant..for the record no one is 'dogging' anyone in for anything. If you're happy to condone illegality under the guise of convenience, then that's a matter for yourself.

    Using examples of car accidents etc is puerile. These are unintentional occurrences which, on occasion has the unfortunate result of gas being released. Completely different to evacuating the system (or cutting pipes etc..) manually.

    The legislation is there for a reason. I've no doubt many choose to ignore it (as evidenced by this thread alone), however it doesn't therefore render the actions of such people justifiable in either 1) a legal or 2) moral capacity.

    Point being I doubt there would be any gas in the system anyways? How many aircon systems have you pumped down can I ask?

    Well if you can decipher this post, it seems there may have been at least some gas in it..

    Precisely zero..nor have I cut the lines etc of any AC system? I'm failing to see the relevance of that however.? Are you suggesting someone needs to have hands on experience with something before they are in a position to comment on the legal and ethical ramifications pertaining to it..?

    I've never handled asbestos either, but I know it's illegal and morally/ethically reprehensible to dump it in the bush...see where I'm going with this...?

    I still think you have no idea what actually happens in the world we have all these tosser regs how many of these producedures are actually followed? In the case of 350 grams if there was any at all which I highly doubt what is that doing to matter to anyone? Get your head out of your arse and go and start policing these re-fridge rules the plumbing board will laugh at you. I've seen and tried to dog in gas spills because I didn't like the fridgie what you think happened? On other occasions they made Phosgene right next to where I was working what does I do no one cares.
    Why does one need to replace the compressor because the seals are rooted and the gas has escaped.

    Clearly the concepts I am offering up are sailing straight over your head.

    There's absolutely zero point in continuing to discuss the matter. Have a good evening.

    As an auto sparky who does aircon and has a panel beater shop next door, they will always bring there cars to us if the gas has not leaked out to be evacuated. Letting the gas out intentionally is highly frowned apon lol, It amazes me that its illegal to do diy electrical or plumbing on your house but any idiot can do repairs to their own car, have seen so much dodgy **** on cars over the years its not funny.

    Th OP must be new to forums lol keeps asking for help in other random threads about his a sick altezza tail lights and gets all butthurt because someone who has more knowledge than him tries to educate him.

    Reason they do that is so you can't pull theres a leak behind the dash when you gas it back up and the leak is really at the schrader or something you've touched. Lots of aircons have alot of come backs? It was wasn't leaking before is the panel beaters come back you wear the cost of re-gassing it.

    I saw the thread title and knew this was going to be a problem...

    To the OP, I suggest you check legislation with regard to venting refrigerant to atmo, I'm no expert but I don't believe you are allowed to do such a thing. If you peruse the forum rules (you just agreed to) you'll see we don't condone breaking the law. I also suggest you check the forum rules in regards to abusing other members.

    BTW, welcome to the forum, may your stay be a long and happy one (and consider this a friendly/only reminder of the forum rules).

    Thread closed!
