Re: Air Conditioning Question
 

Someone at an emergency medicine symposium I attended, mentioned that
people in his area were putting propane in their AC systems. The last
time I bought propane, it was a buck-fifty a gallon. According to
reports, it works well, but in the case of a collision or a leak it can
create problems for emergency responders.

On a related subject, I heard that WD-40 used to use propane as a
propellant. Picture something like this
