Well--it's Phosgene that results--is that mustard gas?? Hot cast iron is a
GOOD catalyst for making it from freon.

OR--to make it a plan for when the red flashers come on behind you--build
some sort of dash operated coil cutter into the manifold (only foolin', of
course!)

But your pop was absolutely correct--had not thought of it, but NH3
refrigerant would be WAY safer for this application!
