> If its flamable its NOT legal for automotive use. I went through this over a year ago when discussing refigerant alternatives. R134 is flammable and so is R12. Freon makes some nasty poisonous fumes when burned. Cars already carry gasoline, and that's pretty darn flammable, don't you agree? "Like most organic materials ENVIRO-SAFE is flammable, but its ignition temperature is 1585ºF at both 5 psi and 0 psi (which is better than the DuPont R-134a's ignition temperature of 368ºF at 5 psi and 1411ºF at 0 psi). In a safety study, the prestigious Arthur D. Little researchers concluded that hydrocarbon refrigerants pose no significant increased risk or hazard over freon."
