Description of the problem	Air conditioner i actually found this out by accident. I bought a portable explosive gas detector from menards (model number: 240pgd) mainly for my sister who lives in a trailer park and has become severely ill from a sewer gas smell in the court. Just before i left for my sister's place, i thought i would try out this gas detector in the cabin of my car near the a/c vent. I looked at the specs for this explosive gas detector and the temperatures were within testing range. The explosive gas detector showed high concentrations of explosive gas by beeping and showing a red led. I tested several times at different temps with the a/c on and received red led lights and warning beeps. While it did not specify which explosive gas,this detector detects acetylene, butane, methane (natural gas) and propane. I did look up air conditioner refrigerant and found that cars in the us may use a butane/propane mixture. My wife and i have been getting headaches with increasing intensity and wonder if this is why. I'm glad that we are not smokers or we would have blown up or been blow torched by the a/c. The detector did not detect explosive gas when i took it back into my house as a reference.
