[Vwdiesel] AC with propane

[Tad]

And funny you should mention shooting at them... when I was young and
stupid, we decided to use a small propane bottle (not empty) for target
practice with a .22 rifle.  I managed to score a hit near the valve-end,
toward the edge of the tank.  It didn't ignite at all, but did put on quite
a show as the bottle spun around quickly, more or less in place.  When it
was done everything for several feet around was covered with ice!

I agree though, 134a is cheap enough that I don't see why you would go with
propane.  Come to think of it, the original idea may have been to use it in
place for R22 or whatever the worth-it's-weight-in-gold stuff is called.
