jcb928 thanks for the post. For clarification, the link provided shows a price of $62.95 for 12 cans with free shipping. This link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...&condition=new. will get you to the page offering the cheaper price. Note that shipping will be in 1 -2 months.

Best regards,

Is there a $10 per can deposit fee for California on these deals?

I don't know Randy but I would just buy a 30lb keg of R134 and be able to fill up a cars A/C system without the risk of getting air inside from switching cans.
It also allows you to hook the R134 right up to the manifold and it is less of a hassle inside of California to have 30lbs in a keg rather than 9 in cans.

I updated the link,

The 928 would use 3 cans with rear air or just over 2 cans with no rear air,

"Without rear A/C: 860g
With rear A/C: 1030g"

I don't have the space or the need for a 30lb (plus you would need a scale)

I have a scale for A/C work but now my mother uses it for weighing packages for shipping

Plus you never know when they will phase out R134 like they did R12.....

If you are just adding refrigerant to a leaking system (as opposed to refilling from empty), the amount added is a very inexact guess based upon temps and pressures anyway.
