This is how much refrigerant my car can hold.

Our kits come with a 6 oz. (168 grams) bottle of 134A replacement gas, a refill hose with pressure gauge and if you choose - a bottle of Stop Leak. Stop Leak prevents leaks in o-rings and rubber seals.
Step 1: First of all - SAFETY. Always wear safety glasses and gloves. Work away from open flames and sparks. You should avoid skin contact with refrigerant as it can cause frostbite.
Step 2: It is important never to overfill the system. The pressure should not exceed 60 PSI. Before you start, check the car manufacturer's recommended pressure in the system or refer to our A/C Refuelling Guide BELOW. And locate the low pressure port. The low pressure port is always located on the A/C pipe with the largest diameter. The pipe is between the compressor and the compartment/torpedo wall.
Step 3: Now you are ready to start refuelling. First, you should check if you need to use Stop Leak. If you have a large leak, you should not top up with refrigerant, we recommend that you top up with Stop Leak if you are unsure. Start the engine and check if the compressor is working. You should hear the compressor clicking. If it does, top up with Stop Leak and then top up to the correct pressure with refrigerant. If the compressor does not work, top up with refrigerant until it starts working and then top up with Stop Leak. Then top up with refrigerant until you reach the correct pressure.
Step 4: If we assume that the compressor is working. You need to follow these instructions:
1: Unscrew the valve on the hose so you don't puncture the Stop Leak can accidentally. Screw the can onto the hose.
2: Fit the hose to the low pressure port. Pull the lock on the hose upwards and press down on the low pressure port.
3: Start the car and switch on MAX cooling and A/C.
4: Shake the can and screw down the valve in the can until it stops.
5: Carefully turn the valve anti-clockwise. After the can is emptied, stop the engine. Close the valve and remove the hose from the low pressure port by pulling the lock upwards.
Step 5: Now you are ready to top up with refrigerant and now it is important to read the pressure regularly on the gauge to ensure that you do not overfill. The basic principle is the same as for Stop Leak:
1: Unscrew the valve on the hose so you don't accidentally puncture the refrigerant can. Screw the can onto the hose.
2: Fit the hose to the low pressure port. Pull the lock on the hose upwards and press down on the low pressure port.
3: Start the car and switch on MAX cooling and A/C.
4: Shake the can and screw down the valve in the can until it stops.
5: Carefully unscrew the valve so the refrigerant starts to flow out. Keep a constant eye on the pressure gauge. Try to fill to the pressure specified by the car manufacturer or check our guide BELOW. Never exceed 60 PSI. When the can is empty, stop the engine. Close the valve and disconnect the hose by pulling the lock upwards.
6: Once the hose is disconnected, reinstall the protective cover on the low pressure port.
Step 6: If the pressure is not high enough, you will have to start over and top up with more refrigerant.
At this point, you are done. Now you can test drive the vehicle and enjoy your work! Ideally, you should drive for 45 minutes to allow the Stop Leak and refrigerant to circulate in the system.

IMPORTANT - Always follow the rules and laws that apply to work with refrigerant:
-
For best results, do not vacuum drain the system;
-
Do not overfill the system, damage to the compressor may occur;
-
Work in well-ventilated areas;
-
NEVER exceed 60 PSI on the low pressure side.
All cans can be installed with both Premium and Professional hose.
