no worries.. I have it dumped into another tank ( which holds the contaminated freon with air ) and when it gets full I take it into the shop for them to recycle it.. don't know how the hell they do it.. but nah.. like you said.. they must do it legally or risk those major fines )

thanx Bonnie Canuck.. quick question for you though.. since I use a compressor when I try to vacuum the air out of the system ( it gets stored in its own tank than bled into a propane tank ). I only use it for 10+ minutes, but heard you're suppose to have it going for 30-45min But the compressor they use are kinda like the air compressor you buy for your car.. it'* slow but draws out more near the end.. but if I rigged up my tire compressor to do that.. I'm worried that it will collapse the tubing on the A/C rad from creating too much vacuum. Any suggestion as to how much should be drawn out? Also think I will change the evaporator core as I heard that theres where most of the moisture would be gathered in the system.
