[QUOTE="Viper16, post: 2781782, member: 1558"] From a cost standpoint, I could imagine it would be better to replace. I know I wouldn't trust a solvent flush when switching between the two types of refrigerant. I suppose if you wanted to pay the amount for the flush, and trust that the flush was done properly and fully cleaned out, then yeah I suppose you could use the same copper lines (providing they are the same diameter), but I would not risk a +$3K system by trying to save the $125-200 for the copper lines I did not want to pay to change. I will admit, I have no idea what the cost for a flush on a system, but If I am sure it aint' cheap. The two types of oils used in both refrigerants do not mix, and have potential to foul things up in the future. Why risk it? IMHO [/QUOTE]
