[W126 Coupe] propane coolant

[Shayegan, Richard]

It was citing a case where some guy at the Porsche 928 owner's club had
his A/C blow up as he came off the dyno...but what was the culprit here?
Looking closely, the real reason is because he had fitted the wrong
length of hose on his a/c system when he restored it, the fan cut the
hose, and the coolant sprayed on the exhaust manifold. Um...I can think
of a LOT of things that would be problematic on a hot exhaust manifold.
RS (I think RH is right in that this will avoid the "Richard" issues,
plus, RS is what's on the seatbelts. It's funny, in my elementary
school, my high school, and now my college, I'm the only Richard, but on
this one mailing list I'm one of 5).

Let's write a letter and we'll all sign it!
You have to wonder which part of the AC industry is paying that guy to
write that article. 
I think that may tell us that there is a big propane push on the way
from some off the field players in the AC industry.

I was at the library procrastinating by reading popular mechanics and
saw an article saying basically that if you have propane based coolant
in you're a/C it is an explosion waiting to happen and that propane is
nothing short than the spawn of satan. I know there are some here that
could easily refute them...I think somebody should write them a letter
to let them know how wrong they are.
