shavnh Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Take the refil cap off think it has a h on it? Put a rag over the hole, (it's like a tyre valve) Press it with a screw driver, Until pressure has gone,Mine was empty anyway lol Quote
00joeindastarb0 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Most places will empty it for free or a small fee.You can do it yourself but if anyone reports you it can carry a heavy fine as its harmful to the enviroment. Quote

Flaminsam Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Be warned you can be fined up to £10k just for releasing the gas to atmosphere. Get it removed at a garage. If you get any on you aswel it can cause frost bite. Get a blast and you will prob loose a finger. Its nasty stuff. Don't mess with it. Quote
turbo Grant Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 its just common sense. When a stone hits the condenser it's leaks out any way. Quote
