Only slightly flammable. But, it does get nasty in the presence of fire, producing hydrofluoric acid, which can etch glass and a highly toxic gas. It's low on the greenhouse gas scale, but still breaks down to phytotoxic acids. Still, not as nasty as FM-200, another freon based compound used in fire extinguishers. Laughably, both butane and propane make excellent refrigerants, but idiots go on about their being flammable in an accident. I guess gasoline stops being flammable in an accident and simply becomes inflammable... ;) Seriously, there's a shit ton more thermal energy available from gasoline than from a kg or so of butane or propane. But, gotta keep DuPont happy.

Well, he forgot the most important component required for reassembly. Profanity. It helps parts expand or contract as needed to ensure a proper and secure fit. Although, that last opener trim is something that as an owner, would get thrown across the shop in the direction of the damned trash can. One side effect of an excess of profanity is the melting and crazing of plastic components. Doesn't do the glass much good either...

There is no problem in life that cannot be resolved by the judicious application of high explosives. Although, once resolved, you may need some repaving done.

When did they ban R-290? R-290 is propane. R-600a is isobutane.

Had something similar with a Chevy Celebrity, ate rotors and pads quickly. Found a stuck caliper, replaced it. Turned out the hose was internally collapsed. When, after replacing the caliper, it ate another rotor and pad, loosening the brake hose at the caliper allowed movement, loosening at the point where it was at the chassis left no relief. Replace a caliper for no reason... :/

@transformer889 the holes aren't fully closed, which you can plainly see if you look at any of the satellite ozone monitoring satellite photographs that are taken multiple times per day. It also still releases HF in the presence of flame or UV, so it's not great for the ozone layer. But, oddly I remember seeing clearly R-134 being used all over the globe. But then, I've traveled the world, those who make such claims typically haven't.

@transformer889 hey, there's a major forest fire around us on three sides, so why not have a fire on the fourth side? Here's a hint, want to know if it'd react with ozone? Spray it on a fire and breathe the resulting fumes, if HF liquefies your lungs and starts dissolving your nervous system, it'll react with ozone. BTW, "Halon" and similar fire extinguishers also release HF, an acid that etches glass and corrodes all metals. Operable is, just because something else exists doesn't mean that you add to it, then wonder why you're getting third degree sunburns, crops are failing and food prices go through the roof. That's like drilling holes in the hull of the Titanic, while saying water's coming in anyway. Sinking even faster isn't a good thing.

@agger838 well, it is the primary object of worship in the US. Hence, why we refer to it as the almighty dollar. Me, dunno what money is, I'm married. ;)

It's only slightly flammable. But, in the presence of flame, it produces a highly toxic compound and HF, which is insanely corrosive and toxic.

@pb4961 I wasn't aware that vaccines are air conditioners and hence, related. Want to bring political parties and weather into the discussion to further bring no value to the conversation?
