Bill,

I hope you don't have any R134a in any of your vehicles.  The autoignition
temperature for that is 300 degrees LESS than Duracool.  I don't know about
Autofrost, but Duracool is what I use.  A full charge of this stuff will
create a flash for 1 to 1.5 seconds when ignited, which of course is harder
to do than the R134a that is in all the newer vehicles.  People see the word
hydrocarbon and get scared.  EVERYTHING is flammable, it's just a matter of
at what temperature and under what conditions.

I don't quite understand the statement about throw a match on liquid
gasoline and it goes out.  I thought gas was one of the best fire
accelerators around.

    after visiting their website using that refrigerant in an URQ would be a
BAD
    idea. URQ's use the mini York, the shaft seal materials are not
compatible
    with that refrigerant R406A and it is flammable! not a good idea in a
car,
    Kaboom! in a collision event! pay the piper and stay with R-12 or
convert to
    R-134a. Regards, Bill

      Have any of you successfully used AutoFrost instead of Freon?

      See www.autofrost.com

      TIA for your input.
