If you have a factory 134a system, don't expect better performance from Duracool. It will work as a refrigerant, but it won't work as well as the design refrigerant.

I've been sticking my head in from time-to-time and when they mentioned using a propane/butane blend as a refrigerant I became curious.

If a car was designed for R12, say a MB before 1995 (I think that's the right date) and it's been converted to 134 would duracool work.

Also, for the moment setting aside the EPA, would 18 oz of propane at 10 to 15 atmospheres in an auto AC be a significant hazard?

I know it's an ambiguous question. My system and my previous car work well on R134a and I have no reason to change it. But some people are saying their auto ACs aren't making it on R134a and I am just wondering (can't recommend this to others - just want to understand) if duracool is a possible answer.
