Default Refrigerant Recovery.

I have been thinking about Refrigerant Recovery Machine. I would not need to do this very often so low cost methods would be good.

I could watch craigslist or ebay for a good deal on a Refrigerant Recovery Machine. Any features to look for?

Someone posted a link on here for a home grown compressor that was used for a recovery machine. He said he liked to use an 8K system compressor.


If I go this route what is the best way to find a cheap compressor?

What about a recovery tank I have an old scuba tank or are there better choices like an old propane tank.

I am just looking at options if I have to do another repair I might not be as lucky as I was with this one. I might still have Freon in the system and have to do recovery before doing the repair.

What is the best way to go with this?
