But that is, of course, not why a consortium of industries pushed for the ban. FUD is alive and well in our legislative arena. I do not believe that there is a particularly high risk associated with an HC refrigerant. As has been proven, R12 systems were actually quite flammable, and let us not discount experiences with propane-powered vehicles, and highly-pressurized gasoline systems. (FI systems.) Propane et al. are not even particularly flammable except in a rather narrow range of fuel/air ratios. Unlike gasoline. R12 was safer, but now we can't use it. I use HC myself. It works great, is inexpensive, and harmless to the environment. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
