[Vwdiesel] A/C oil

[Bob Soukup]

Mark,

I would suggest NOT using butane as a refrigerant in your a/c system!  Do you really want a flammable gas being pumped into the cabin of your vehicle with you?  All it would take is a small leak under the dash to turn your car (and you) into a crispy critter.

Convert to R134a instead.

By the way for those of use who live in California...  I was reading that there is movement afoot to ban the sale of those little R134a refill cans.  The claim is that those of us who do-it ourselves are letting too much R134a escape contributing to global warming.  I suspect the real motive is to line the pockets of the automotive A/C service shop lobby.
