That is a COMPLETELY MISLEADING STATEMENT.
Moving the danger involved FROM where it IS to the inside of the car.. that is not where the danger resides.
The danger is that you have propane at the VERY FRONT of the vehicle , in weak aluminum tubes under pressure AND ALREADY mixed with OIL..... it does not take much of an accident to cause that propane and oil to spray out into the air and be subject to any sparks caused by the collision. If you are inside the vehicle and slow or unable to exit ... you do not want a FIRE.... added to the situation... normal people realize this...
Everyone should watch ' The Great Waldo Pepper' with Robert Redford once early in their life. It will help you understand this concept.
The Risks of Hydrocarbon Refrigerant Blends - Article - TruckingInfo.com
"""""Hydrocarbon blends are highly flammable and in a confined space may burn or explode in the presence of an open flame, spark, or cigarette. No vehicle manufacturer has endorsed or authorized the use of hydrocarbon refrigerants in its current-production A/C systems, according to Red Dot. They can degrade gaskets and hoses designed for R-134a or R-12, making leaks more likely. Use them and you'll void the warranty.""""
