[Vwdiesel] A/C oil....kaboom?

[rumple stiltskin]

not likely, but the butane can be ignited from a "static electricity discharge" produced from anywhere within the system where there is metal, including the A/C condenser itself..
   
  ...all petroleum products produce a charge on whatever surface they follow along, whether from outside or from within the container, rubber hose , metal conduit, as in the condenser coil, etc.,  mike in florida

  I doubt if the butane ignited it would stay lit long, especially under
pressure, it would possibly blow itself out.
Butane isn't nearly as bad as gasoline or kerosene as far as ignitibility, I
doubt it would be a major risk.
Hell, if it leaked it would probably be gone as soon as it started
