Here's an article from the friendly feds about using any variety of Hc12a refrigerant in a vehicle:

Should your system blow and start a fire would your insurance pay?

SEPTEMBER 1, AN UPDATE:
Isn't it amazing where this thread has gone? Reminds me of the old parlor game "pass it on". I tell you a story, you pass it to the next guy, he to the third and so on till it gets back to me. Then we have a good laugh at how it has changed.

No one had a comment about the original question, even the insurance guys. One who responded wanted to know about my propane tank (it's doing just fine and thanks you for asking). One asked if I'd ever experienced a system blowout (yes I have and it was quite exciting as a major cloud of vapor enveloped a number of cars and an 18 wheeler at 65 MPH). It wasn't Duracool, probably R12.

The major reaction to the post clearly was to be defensive of Duracool. What I took away from the exercise:

"THEY'LL HAVE TO PRY MY DURACOOL FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS".

Oh, and by the way, I too am using Duracool.
