Can you put R134 in a R-12 Ford Tempo Air conditioner?

No, you should absolutely not put R-134a refrigerant in an R-12 system in a Ford Tempo (or any other vehicle originally designed for R-12). R-134a is not compatible with the seals, hoses, and other components in an R-12 system. Using R-134a will likely cause leaks, damage the compressor, and lead to a complete system failure.

To recharge the air conditioning system in your Ford Tempo, you must use R-12 refrigerant, or have the system converted to R-134a by a qualified mechanic. This conversion involves replacing the seals, hoses, and possibly other components that are not compatible with the new refrigerant. Using an R-12 substitute is also an option, though they may not be as readily available.
