No. Well at least not in the US where it's a big no-no to use it in 
automobiles...  although that hasn't stopped some enterprising 
individuals from doing so.   If one were to DIY, you'd need a proper 
vessel (evacuated propane tank) a source of iso-butane (sold in cans for 
use in camping stoves) and a good source of propane (torch bottles would 
be a good idea... more likely to be pure than stuff for your gas grill.) 
    You then mix it by weight, and use that to charge your system, just 
as you would with R-12.

Again this is purely hypothetical.  It's a super bad idea if you don't 
know what you are doing, and even if you do it's still a really bad idea.

It is a shame however that such an evironmentally benign and cheap 
solution was legislated out of existence.
