    Let me clarify: I'm familiar with breaking down AC units, and the compressors, etc. I have a person who EVACS complete units for me. I'm just wondering how people felt about taking units that have had the refridgerant illegally removed from the system. Cut the line, let it fly. I know this guy does it.



    Let me clarify: I DO NOT RELEASE REFRIDGERANT TO THE OZONE ILLEGALLY!! I just know this person does...I'm not there when it happens, I just pick up the carcassas.

    And for me, with the compressors, I either sell them whole to the person who evacs my stuff, or I give them to him in return for helping me with stuff.

    I just don't want to be resposible for having the carcass without having proof they were evacd. I don't need the fine, and I have federal certification and state of WI certification for automotive refridgerant....don't wanna loose those

    Well, if you're concerned about the environmental impact this turkey has, you could always turn him in yourself. IIRC, half of his fine gets turned over to you.
