I agree with Vlad propane has some definite advantages. The equipment that runs on it are cleaner. Its also a great refrigerant.

Remember propane evaporates at -42C. You can always make a heat exchanger from 2 copper tubes and use hot engine oil to heat propane. I had problem with my loader. Propane was splashing while I was operating the loader. Liquid propane was freezing pressure regulator so I made HX from 2 tubes and used oil from transmission to heat up and evaporate liquid propane. It works just fine after this. I will post some pics.

We are DIY we use our brain right ???
