Your half truth out of contyext is as per your usual a lie
EPA syas you can convert from an original R12 ro HC if you do it their way
First to 134 then to HC is comnplety EPA legal so the prob is not the HC acording to the EPA
Cut and pasted directly from the the EPA website anwsers to FAQ
*** added
"10 Is it legal to replace HFC-134a in a motor vehicle with hydrocarbon refrigerants such as DURACOOL 12aŽ and HC-12aŽ?
In certain circumstances, the replacement of HFC-134a in a motor vehicle with hydrocarbon refrigerants might be permitted. At a minimum, in order to avoid violating the Clean Air Act, the motor vehicle A/C system must have either been originally designed for use with HFC-134a refrigerant, ***or must have been previously retrofitted from CFC-12 to HFC-134a refrigerant***, AND no sham retrofit must have occurred to convert the system to the hydrocarbon refrigerant. In order to avoid violating other laws, the replacement of the refrigerant must not violate any state or local prohibition on the use of flammable refrigerants in motor vehicle A/C systems."
So as you can read there is a EPA legal way and as long as you have the 134 fittings (which you need for the duracool or enviorsafe) you tell me how the EPA knows that you did not do it the "right" way.
So please stick to real facts not slick wille slight of hand your are stareting to compete with clinton for dishonesty
