Possibly your propylene glycol has an atom or more with little
or now vdw potential, so nuclear fusion is taking place.

You can save yourself minor time by cutting down to 8A for minimization,
and major time for dynamics. Also, usually only a few hundred steps of
minimization are needed to prepare for dynamics.
