- I am convinced that HCs' should have replaced R12 in the first place instead of the piss poor substitute(R134).

You know that the industry wouldn't let that happen, though (*cough*dupont*cough*macs*cough*). Simply put, there's money to be made on proprietary gases.

BTW, for those who argue that R134A isn't flammable ... well, the first part of HCFC is hydro, as in hydro-carbons. FWIW, ethane is a major ingredient, and R134a is indeed flammable 'under high pressure and elevated temperatures'. Conditions that can be found ... oh, say under the hood of a car. :)

There was a nice writeup here some months ago, but the search isn't working, so ???

-- Kane ... there were quite a few naysayers there too.
