92 300D 2.5 turbo =Propane in AC+more

The car has just had new engine and is almost completely restored. I purchased the car in Sept. 03.

The AC was a not as cold as in some of the other cars that I have owned. I took it to a Radiator shop that I have gone to for 15 years.

The tech hooked up two gauges and told me that it was holding pressure. He then put a machine that looks like what the ups drivers have. It reads what is inside of the system.

Results= Beep Beep Beep with a red flashing led. The system has R12, R134 and propane. The beep was to warn of flammable mixture. Propane!

1.Why would someone put propane in there?

2. Tech did not want to mess with the car after that. Where do I go to get rid of it?

3. He said to clean it out. Put a new dryer in it and to bring it back to evacuate the system and to recharge the system with R-12.

Any recommendations?

Thank you

Nick Mendoza
