<VV> A/C For 69 Corvair

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Bottom line, the 'flash point' statement is totally fallacious. You really can't set fire to R134a, even if you tried, without another source of flame (and a damn hot one at that!) to keep it going. Take that flame away, it goes out INSTANTLY! In fact, R134a can be used as a fire extinguishing agent! 
Propane, needless to say, is a very good fuel.

Bob and all, I have been running EnviroSafe in my 65 Monza for the 7 years I 

have had it AC'd.

I checked the MSDS's once. You and others might be interested to know that ES 

has a 

higher flashpoint that 134A. I interpret that to mean that 134A ignites sooner 

than ES.



 I stopped worrying about it being "unsafe" at that point. Besides Corvairs are 

"unsafe"



anyway aren't they???  :-)

All the best.
