Are you guys just picking up a can and going to town? How are you guys measuring out the minute amount that the car needs?

More BAD advice. It's NOT lbs it's PSI. I would like to see you get 25 lbs of refrigerant into the system.

The pressure reading is base on ambient temp and you should also be monitoring the high side at the same time.

The correct way to refill or recharge a system is to start from scratch. Draw a vacuum and add refrigerant by weight, not by pressure reading.

Jesus chill.

Where is your obligatory BMtroubleU?

bottom line, I got a can of "gas" installed it as directed & repaired my issue for 40.00.

It is my truck, I killed no babies and impacted none.

Zanax, look into it.

The problem is that some noob that doesn't know better will look up on the internet about their ac not working and see your comment where you put 33 lbs of refrigerant into the system. He will try to do it because he saw it on the internet.

If people don't correct the mistakes that are posted on the internet people can get hurt from following bad advice on the internet. If you are going to post advice on the internet, know what you are talking about.

The gauge reads 0-xxxxxxx wtf ever. Pounds, pesos, dollars not important. Remaining within the constraints of teh gauge reagrdless of what it reads is important.

The f00king can holds 12-18 OUNCES of gas. not possible to get in trouble.

I attached teh same can to my 2007 Camry (engine off) it was at 55(wtf ever the reading is)

I reiterate chill

Pound peso not important? Can may hold 12-18 ounce of refrigerant, but your comment was that you added 33 lbs of refrigerant to the system.

If pounds and peso are not important you probably think that Newton Meter and ft-lb are also not important. Try using 10 ft-lb of torque on a 10 NM bolt.

I am chilling I have a working AC because I know the correct way to diagnose and fix automotive ac

If you call pointing out and correcting your mistake an attack on my part, you must have been attacked a lot while going to school.
