    Hypothetical freon question ?

    I always wonderd if this would work .
    Ok follow the Hypothetical

    Refrigerators with ice makers use a Ice-maker Supply Line with a needle type valve that punctures the copper pipe .
    stay with me on this http://411plumb.com/wp-content/uploa...-valve-kit.jpg these kits can use a small copper pipe. Lets say the small copper pipe is run from the back of pickup bed to intake manifold that supplies air for combustion . Now with truck running we take ac unit isolate one of the copper pipes coming off compressor attach needle valve turn to puncture freon flows to intake manifold mixes with air and fuel becomes a part of the combustion process to finally pass through the Catalytic converter @ 1000 degrees.

    Do you think this would render freon null or still produce phosphene gas out of tail pipe .



    The question is will the Cat nullify freon, as a typical fire wont .

    Copper head, your cat won't remove phosgene gas. Why would you want to destroy something that is worth more than copper anyway?

    I recall a thread that discussed why torch around refrigerant can produce a deadly toxic gas. It was most likely from FreonJoe. Anyway no flame near refrigerant. Mike
