You can legally use Duracool in R12 setups only after R134a conversion. Why?
Because the EPA knows that "shops" don't do Duracool conversions and they
know anyone who buys Duracool is venting the R12 into the atmosphere and not
recycling the R12. Therefor they don't mind after a R134a conversion as they
assume you had the R12 reclaimed via the a/c shop.

Otherwise it is a fine alternative as is HOTSHOT if you can get it. No
neither is anymore combustible then R134a.

OK all you haters let the tread begin!

There may be legal issues, just FYI:
