Not if you convert the fittings.

Yes it is flammable...so is gasoline....diesel fuel.
The LIQUID amount needed to charge a typical MBZ system is only about 16 OUNCES. A typical automobile carries about 10 GALLONS of fuel.
Duracool has a flash point of around 1600 degrees F.

Again as I said above.... The Choice is YOURS.
