Haven't done it and likely wouldn't due to the safety factor but that's just me. A leak and a spark would be all it would take to have a nasty result. There have been incidents of techs getting badly burned when working on AC systems and not being aware that it had been converted to propane so if you do, make sure you label the system accordingly.Anyone charged their A/C with a propane based refrigerant?
You just realizing that?Something smells really bad to me about our system of governing.
This just an FYI. Many moons ago I was involved in a truck and passenger burn law suit in Texas. Fire entered the truck cab and the passenger jumped out with truck moving, which did him more harm than the burns. Anyway our US Air Force flame progagation expert proved the fire which burned through the heater core was from the AC refrigerant. Now everyone knows freon, which is what was used in those days, is inert. Yes but the oil in the system caused the pressurized escaping gas from a burned through hose to act like a flame thrower. I don't know if modern refrigerants can do a similar thing or not. Maybe someone can answer that question.Haven't done it and likely wouldn't due to the safety factor but that's just me.

Yes years ago when I had a Porsche 928...80 model so used freon which 20 years later when I had the vehicle, was hard to get & expensive. My mechanic sourced out Duracool...which was propane based. Inexpensive and worked perfectly for a few years until I got rid of the car.Anyone charged their A/C with a propane based refrigerant?
