Quote: Some of the rubber hoses used on cars from the eighties or earlier are definitely a little leaky with the smaller molecule of R134a or the drop-in refrigerants so may cut down slightly on the length of time they are able to retain the charge.

Early cars sometimes have hoses which are not completely impervious to R134a, these can sometimes be changed but where it is not really possible the reality is frequently that the loss is fairly inconsequential anyway.

According to this... give it a shot...
