I have a 1hp compressor, and I have access to most refridgerants because my dad and his friend(who owns an hvac business I think) have access to this. So what are my best options as far as refridgerants, and the other thing a pretty simple question which I could prob. find on my own, what should the cap tube length and size be? I have another thread (about my block) but this question dosn't really relate (as it's about the block :stick: ) so I didn't wanna ask it there. Thanks. I'm kinda in a hurry, leaving after I post this, or else I would have done some searching first.

Go for R404a/R507. Or you could test R402a.

I got all the tools, or my dad should have what I don't anyways. And how long of a cap tube for 0.031" or 0.028" and does it matter which or just get w/e's available/ the cheapest.

packet i get is 3.3m of 0.031", i usually cut it to about 3m or shorter cutting 150mm off each tune until im happy. can d0 200-300mm cuts just depends how much you want to tube it.
start about same length with 0.028" what you end up with will be different to other ppl.
