Re: [DML] A/C gas types

R12
- illegal, flammable.

I recently did a lot of reading on this topic, and I think both are
incorrect.  Handling R12 requires EPA 609 certification (obtainable
online for $15) and it costs more per unit volume than most other
options.  However, it is still legal, despite what the local Jiffy
Lube says when asked to do R12 work.  :-)

Some people advocate propane or other flammables as a drop-in
replacement for R12, but the original R12 is less combustible than
R-134a even.
