Summertime with it's inevitable high gas prices brings out ever more
miraculous ways to enhance gasoline MPG. I've also read about a
gimmick multi-electrode sparkplug that supposedly improves power and
milage at the same time. People are shelling out $9.00 per plug!!

How exactly would a reputable servicer handle this (other than telling
the customer to get lost)?

I'd like to know this as well... I'm looking to do a quick fix on my A/C and
was considering stop leak with dye alongside a can of refrigerant.

Explain their options and the cost of those options.

of the ads is about, Premium Refrigerant with Stop Leak and hose.12.3
ounces.$8.99.Maybe Fred's has a website, (I didn't see a Fred's website
in my Fred's flyer) if you want to check it out.

Are you replying to me?

Any stop leak , sealer or seal sweller installed in an automotive
AC system is asking for disaster. Once that crap is in there,
the system is considered a total loss.
No professional in their right mind would touch such a system
until everything has been replaced.

The hacks will do differently no doubt...

The best way to improve mileage and overall vehicle performance is to
hide the car keys from your teenager.

1) Dispose of vehicle in favor of one with a functioning AC
system that has not been contaminated/ butchered.

2) Replace every AC component, add proper oil charge, evacuate,
recharge with proper refrigerant.

3) Live with no AC.
