Audio alarm alerts technician
Other Refrigerant Identifiers are being advertised which may be available this A/C season. However, ONLY the Kent-Moore J 39851 R12 "Pureguard"
meets General Motors' current specifications which ensure recovered refrigerant is compatible with General Motors vehicles and General Motors
approved recovery systems.
An R134a Pureguard Refrigerant Identifier is currently under development and is anticipated to be available in early 1995. The contamination of R134a
refrigerant is not expected to be a concern until the program to retrofit R12 vehicles to R134a becomes more widely used.
Future bulletins will be issued to address the recovery and disposal of contaminated refrigerant.
