Claude,

A neighbor of mine as a joke filled a balloon with an oxygen/acetylene
mixture from a welding torch. He filled the balloon to about the size of a
basket ball. He tied a string to it and thumbtacked it to a wall. Then he
lit the string like a fuse. When that thing exploded, it broke every window
in the shop, and he thought that it would just pop like a firecracker.

Acetylene isn't propane, but they are very similar. Sometimes one is
substituted for the other. I suppose that to test a system, you could drain
a little (and I do mean *little*) amount of refrigerant into a balloon and
light a match to it *outside* to see what happens.

Another interesting thought: One of the ingredients of Mustard Gas is a
combustion byproduct of freon.
