Fact is, a propane leak from this small a total charge is significantly
less dangerous than an underhood gasoline leak.

Pick your poison !! Propane is an excellent refrigerant, and the fact that
it is totally miscible with mineral base refrigeration oil is another big
plus.

On another front--does anybody here know the heat of vaporization of
hydrazine offhand?? (H2-N2-H2)
Might be even _more_  interesting to inject it pre-IC than propane or
nitrous !!!
