You are a stupid ----.

Jeep AC systems leak into the cab.

The OP has a leaky one.

Isobutane and propane 'EXPLODE' in the presence of a spark or flame.

What part of that are you missing?

The trouble is, all of his stuff works. Personally, I think that all that is
needed is to shift into Reverse and back up a bit, but Mike likes to use a
little more flair. It certainly doesn't hurt, but it is a bit excessive if
you ask me. But, shifting into 4WD at speed is always a useful thing, and is
far better than stopping to shift into 4WD -- which is completely
unnecessary.

Mike tends to use LO range more than I, but he is doing stuff where he needs
power, I do stuff where I need extremely low speeds, that's
E-X-T-R-E-M-E-L-Y low speeds.

That may be true, but there is no known (by me) automotive application where
propane is used for cooling.

Add your comment in another thread about using the Parking Brake as the only
available braking system for a jaunt across town to affect repairs on the
failed braking system, and as far I can tell, Mike gives better and more
reliable advice than you have ever given. Bar none.

Me thinks the lack of practical knowledge falls in your court ...

SNORT! Yeah, there is a reason it's illegal alright, Duponts patent ran
out so anyone could make the stuff, that's why it was so cheap. So this
scare got cooked up that Freon was destroying the planet and it got
banned and replaced by another Dupont product with a fresh patent.

Around the time that patent runs out we'll see them start to ban 134a
and require the use of yet another refrigerant.

I'm no fan of conspiracy theories but I believe this one.

The same might be said of the 13 oz propane torch bottles that nobody,
including the fire department, worries about indoors. My lifetime sample
size of a few dozen bottles has displayed a few slow-leakers. Or you just
don't turn the torch off properly. One of those bottles, plus the spare in
your toolbox, is about the same mass of propane to charge an auto air
conditioner.

You might want to consider the limits of flammability for propane in air.
It takes quite a stroke of luck to get the right proportion from a given
leak rate or given volume of enclosure. The hazard would seem to be quite
comparable to a gasoline fuel system leak.

Propane indeed has its hazards and should be respected, but being
superstitious about it is imprudent.

Anhydrous ammonia has been used in residential refrigerators. Propane is a
kitten compared to that stuff.
