Rob, Neither gasoline or brake fluid are poised to dump flammable gas into the cabin of your Vanagon - you're A/C system is in the event of a expansion valve or evaporator failure. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.stir-plate.com www.towercooler.com www.kegkits.com www.grow-sun.com
-----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of Rob Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 1:24 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Friday flammables The other day on the list we were talking about the contents of an air conditioning system, a propane/isobutane mix was mentioned as was the un-comfort level of having flammables in that system. I guess it's all relative. We are sitting on 15.9 gallons of gasoline with a flash point of -50 degrees f There is 2.5 gallons of propane that is a gas at -44 degrees f right behind us (well behind me, I have a westy) We have brake fluid in front of us, it's a flammable with a high flash point (248 degrees f) but it's still a flammable. Springtime most places, not AC weather up here yet but I've read it is some places, which I guess is why we are talking about AC systems & the like.
