Can you put freeze 12 in the a/c system without taking out r-12

I was about a can short of r-12 to recharge my system and tried to put one can of freeze-12 in the system and it acted like it wasn't going in. and then a little later my compressor stopped working.

what should I do

You are not supposed to. Freeze12 is 80% R134A and 20% R142B. You now have a very contaminated charge. I would evacuate the system (no shop will do it now because of the contamination), pull a vacuum, then charge into the vacuum.

134 conversion is simple and cheap. Do it right one time and then don't worry about it.

Yes I still had r12 from 1995

yeah I just wont tell them freeze-12 is mixed with r-12

yeah I just wont tell them freeze-12 is mixed with r-12

If this means that you are thinking of taking the car to a shop and having them evacuate it, you aint the brightest bulb in the bunch. The evacuation equipment will know the charge is contaminated.

looks like its time for a Ford A/C delete kit

You DEFINITELY should tell them what you did so you don't cause a problem with their system. It will have to be evacuated and recharged with at least a new filter/drier.

The shop I go to only works on mustangs and they use the stuff all the time.

and yeah I'll have to get a new drier

I just added more it showed I almost had none.

And the fuse blew for the a/c
