Removing refrigerant from a car is not as difficult as it seems. There are a few simple steps that can be followed to remove the refrigerant without using a machine.

  1. Open the car door and remove any obstructions from the way. This will help to ensure that the refrigerant is able to flow freely.
  2. Pour a small amount of water onto a cloth and place it over the top of the refrigerator compressor. This will help to prevent any liquid refrigerant from spilling out and contaminating other areas of the car.
  3. Place the cloth over the top of the compressor and turn on the car’s engine. The refrigerator should start up immediately and begin moving refrigerant around inside the car.
