Freon, also known as refrigerant, plays a crucial role in a car\u2019s cooling system.\u00a0As a substance used to absorb heat from the engine, freon enables the car to run efficiently and prevents engine overheating.\u00a0It is important to maintain the proper level of freon in a car\u2019s cooling system to ensure optimal performance.<\/p>\n
One cost-effective method is to use a bicycle pump.\u00a0This DIY approach can be effective, although it is important to proceed with caution.\u00a0The bicycle pump is connected to a metal line along the side of the engine.\u00a0By pumping air into it, the freon is expelled from the engine, allowing for the removal of the refrigerant.<\/p>\n
Exercise caution and prioritize safety when handling refrigerant.\u00a0Wear gloves and face protection.\u00a0Refrigerant is a toxic chemical to both the atmosphere and your flesh.\u00a0Also, refrigerant can be harmful to your lungs if you breathe it in.<\/p>\n
