When Releasing excess refrigerant from a car you are basically left with three options.
Release the air using a $1,200 recovery unit, take it to a Certified ASE technician and have them do it right to the car's specific recomendations. The last option I personally do not recomened to anyone which is releasing the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Buy a set of manifold gauges, find the correct amount of refrigerant the car requires and keep releasing until the correct measurment is acheived. All together the illegal way is about $1,165 cheaper unless someone reports you and the EPA slaps the individual with a $10,000 fine.
This occurs because the refrigerant must be capable of releasing excess heat easily. It can do this by boiling and having it in steam.
It's illegal to vent the refrigerant into the atmosphere. To do it legally, you need a refrigerant recycling machine
