Update: A "left hand drill bit"(anti-clockwise bit) must be used for drilling out the plastic check valve assembly(not shown in video) under the T-handle inside the tap, to prevent the check valve housing from unthreading and falling into the tank(like in the video). If using a regular drill bit(rotating clockwise) to widen the internal aperture/throat (where the T-handle's thick tip sits to seal the tank), after that throat is drilled through, the plastic check valve housing directly underneath will grab onto the drill bit and unthread(towards the inside of the tank, and fall into the tank without warning). This happened to me(so the check valve assembly fell into the tank and rattled around like in the video), but I managed to rethread the check valve housing back onto the tap(!) and pulled out the extruded cross/rubber plug with a DIY wire hook! When my order for the "left hand drill bits"(very cheap set from AliExpress) arrive, I'll be able to widen the plastic check valve housing's opening, in effect thinning the walls of the check valve housing, and eventually make it easier to break apart & remove the remaining thinned plastic cylinder of the check valve housing from the lower inner section of the steel tap. It will likely be a good idea to drill and remove the plastic pieces with the tank upside down so the pieces don't fall into the tank. Removing the plastic check valve assembly entirely like this will allow all moisture in the tank to be removed when the tank is upside down. Cheers~ Note: 2 patents related to this type of "non-refillable valve" - In Google Patents search the following patents: 1st) WO2008025223A1 ("A non-refillable valve for use in a cylinder") Download PDF & view drawings towards the end which clarify the function of the extruded cross ("+")/plug design etc.. 2nd) CN210397835U ("Safe non-repeated filling valve convenient to assemble") The drawings clarify in detail the check valve(not shown in the video), its function, and assembly method etc..

Guys, by that I mean men, like to experiment and re purpose and invent and modify. That is why we have automobiles and airplanes and skyscrapers and guys on oil rigs out in the ocean risking their lives. Hey, he seems to be careful. Great stuff.

Good idea to make use of the old bottle to recover gas for later use!🙂👍 Be cautious when using it for too long to store gas as the thin disposable cylinder metal may rust over time from little moisture/air coming from the ac unit .

Will definitely recommend using a proper bottle. This is for emergency only.

I've been using a freon bottle converted to air tank since 1966.

Yeah metal will likely fatigue over the years …

there is a check valve in that tank u have to drill out on the refrigerant tank

Yes, there is a green plastic cross("+"), each quadrant open for passage of gas. The check valve mechanism is not obvious as it does not look like there is a ball(like some which I expected). Do you know how this check valve works and how to disable or remove it (without having it fall into the tank like in the video)? Thanks!
