Our old Electra F/F is dying and I want to dismantle it to use the compressor for "other purposes"...
(Before you say "you can't do that, you have to give it to a professional... etc" I will remind you that I am living in Turkey, unfortunately the CFC harmful gases will go to the atmosphere if it give it to a scrap merchant or do it myself...)
What is the best procedure to relieve the pressure in the system without gassing myself or causing a fountain of freon? (or whatever refrigerant it uses...) small hole with pin or cut a pipe and run?
(I have seen the compressors used to pump up car/bicycle tyres before now and a search on the net gave some hints about this as well)
