Default Nitrous ? (Bottle Saftey)

What can I do to prevent the bottle from over heating and exploding? I do not have a lot of knowledge of nitrous kits. Is there some kind of relieve valve I can purchase?

Blow down tube and a burst disk. It won't not overheat and release nitrous, it will just overheat and release nitrous outside of your car.

Takes quite a bit for it to do that though. I had a full bottle in my car during the summer.. (about 102 deg or so) and it never burst..

Every bottle comes with burst disc's in them that blow at I want to say around 1500psi so that the bottle will not blow. If you do not have a blow down tube (I do not as my track doesn't care) it will just vent into the car, no big deal. You can leave the car in the heat and it should be fine as long as the bottle is in the shade you will not have a problem. I have left mine in the car during super hot Florida summers and its good to go.
