Question
what happens if i mix freon R-12(cfc) and R-134 in a circuit of an air-condition.
Bad things. If you're planning to add R134A, you should first have the R12 removed and the system pumped down prior to adding R134A (and the oil). If you mix the two in sufficient quantities you will at best need a new AC system, and at worst a new car.
