Re: Air Conditioning Question
Accessory Section 8 did pass the time by typing:
> In the real world, all A/C and refrigeration equipment uses the same
> fittings irregardless of refrigerant used, be it R12, HCFC-134, R-22,
> or any of dozens of others.
That is because in the automtotive world there is a bucketload of
morons that don't know ---- about AC and would destroy the system
by putting god knows what as a TV fixitall.

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

plus a spark.
