Despite 'only' some 17 states making it illegal, it's illegal to use any flammable refrigerant in a motor vehicle in the United States, if that motor vehicle's AC system originally contained R-12. (Don't ask me why they'll allow it to replace R-134a in the 33 other states, if the car originally had 134a - seems bizarre to me.) That includes Duracool, btw. But hey, don't take my word for it... read it here as part of the EPA test study guide:
