Time to get out the old test light and ac gauges like low and high
set.
And say no to them death kits.
Wal Mart DEATH KITS
You cannot properly and safely recharge an air condition system with
them.
The one side stop and go gauge does not tell you what your system is
doing or is over charged or undercharged.
A overcharged or malfunction air condition system can reach over 500
lbs of pressure.
Enough to blow up that can or system and freeze you at first and the
burn you or blind you and if any propane /butane in there blow and
light you up.
The stop leak crap and who knows what kind of oil in the kits there
will stop your system for sure.
Just like pouring super glue in it.
And some kits even contain freon with a butane mixer.
Good for a big blast.
If you are going to do it do it right and safe.
Here is what you need to start with.

In the older days you could just throw in a can and go.
But over the years just adding freon is getting harder to do.
Newer systems have to have the correct amount of freon down to the
ounces.
Most will need pumped down and vacuumed down and the right and amount
of oil and a set amount freon charge installed to get the air to cool
right and the system to last.
If an air condition is low there is usually a leak that needs fixed and
also a lose of lubricating oil from system.
Also air and moisture enters a low system
If you are going to try to do it get the proper type air condition
gauge set with the low and high side gauges.
Hook up the gauges and get a reading with compressor running at idle
and at 2000 rpm on the high and low side.
Post back pressure reading and we can help you.

Well you caught me.
Copy and past from MS Word
Saves a lot of typing.
I may have to reword it a little to keep it interesting.
