The repair man is suppose to try to find the leak and repair it. But if it is a very small leak it is hard to find, so some of them are just going to have a pound put in every year. To start with us dealers were suppose to keep track
of every pound we use and fill out reports. The gov. does not have enough
people to enforce these paper trails. The gov. came out with these fines and they were hoping that the public would watch us dealers and report us, and the gov. would pay the public for every one they report. To prove that we are dumping, they would have to have it all on film. So all these rules
really are hard to enforce.
I would think the amount of refg. gas released from house air con. leaks
would be a small amount compared to the amount released every day from auto crashes.
Then we have volcanoes that release some of the same chemicals that are found in the refg. gas, and we sure can't stop them. Paul
$10,000 fine
