At first I thought you were worried about engine oil exploding, you said no, that you were worried about refrigerant. Since there is no refrigerant, now you are back to worrying about engine oil fumes exploding? There is no oil fumes in the tank or in the vacuum pump. If there were oil fumes, the clear 1/8 nylon vacuum line would be all black. It is nice and clear. Even if there were oil fumes, it would not explode. Don't worry!
