Yup...and an A/C tech I know told me of a number of systems he'd seen it done on. Ran for years w/o issue and blew ice cold air. Not suggesting that one should do the propane thing, just making a point.
What I find interesting is all of the yack that goes on at this forum about it's illegal to do this and illegal to do that, etc., etc.
There are countless "blends" or "alternate" refrigerants available and contrary to what the R-12 purists report, they blow ice cold air. If you say they don't, you have never used them.
If the EPA was REALLY that concerned about someone mixing Duracool or Freeze-12 or any other alternative refrigerant with R-12, they would not allow these alternative products to be sold on the open market.
If you are a purist, use R12. It's good refrigerant. If you want to use an alternative refrigerant, that's your business. People have been doing it for years and how many cars have exploded by them doing so?
