Safe?
 
Is it safe to leave the bottle in the car 24/7/365?? With the hot ass heat down here i don't want it to be baking in the sun enought to where it would build up too much pressure and blow a seal or something.

How is it baking in sunlight? It's in your trunk isn't it?

STFU PLEASE. Ffs..

And define safe.

Safe as in won't blow your shit up or safe as in you won't sit in your car and get all screwed up from the nitrous?

It won't blow your car up or some crap, hopefully its got a blowdown fitting installed.

If it doesn't have a blowdown fitting, well, the nitrous will be released into your vehicle, at which point, when you sit in there, prepare to get tore up cause you will be hiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh (prolly idk)

But out in Cali, when its 110+ degrees where I live..I kept the bottle in the car..no biggie, just don't spray with the pressure being that high. :)

mustangV6_04 03-31-2009 05:18 PM

it doesn't have a blow down tube so basically if it gets too much pressure it just releases it self right from the bottle by the valve right??

my definition of safe was basically wondering if the heat of the car being in the sun could ever be enought to get the bottle to the pressure required to blow the nitrous out.

SnTBakosFinest 03-31-2009 05:23 PM

Yes it COULD happen. And depending on what bottle you have, there IS a burst disc already on the valve covered by a plastic cap in the back. It varies from valves though.

mustangV6_04 03-31-2009 05:27 PM

thanks for the info might be taking it out on the hot days or be investing in a blow down tube

SnTBakosFinest 03-31-2009 05:32 PM

blow down tubes are fairly cheap. Check out harrisspeedworks.com or dynotunenitrous.com for the blowdown + fittings

dynotunes blowdowntubes are stainless steel braided line, and i would recommend that, so you are trying to bend a friggin tube around and shit..

jon2325 03-31-2009 06:18 PM

check this out.. its from a local forum and if i remember right he got the bottle from a car that caught fire so it messed up the safety system..

mustangV6_04 03-31-2009 06:36 PM

damn now thats a problem

SnTBakosFinest 03-31-2009 07:14 PM

This was discussed on a nitrous forum. They still have not been able to figure out how that could have possibly happened.

I mean, if the previous owner had it in his car, and it caught fire, it'd be charred ect and why use it? If it heated up enough to actually MELT the release cap..then other things would have probably melted.

I mean, its a pretty simple setup -

Heat builds pressure, the pressure is released via the relief cap, which is, tiny, and is replaced every time you take off the blowdown tube fitting.

The cap is setup to break under x amount of pressure.

Theres nothing that can really fail there.

Basically, without the blowdown tube, the only thing that will happen is the burst disk will go and your whole inside of the car will get really really cold and covered in frost.

With the blowdown tube, it's routed outside the car.

Either way, the chances of it happening from the heat of the sun are slim, but there.

spike_africa 03-31-2009 08:18 PM

Lets see I have kept it in my car for 4+ years and no problems. I have seen the gauge up in the 1350psi rang from heat, but never higher and that was during the summer parked on top of the UCF parking garage all day on a 100* day. You will be fine with it in the trunk should not be a problem for you either. Regardless it would just break the burst disc like he said.

mustangV6_04 04-01-2009 04:20 PM

cool beans going out to reistall the solenoid and window switch then let er rip so wish me luck....oh btw there was nothing wrong with the window switch after all. I sent it back and they sent me a brand new one but i found out i needed a tach adapter so i got one from msd

SeanStang 04-01-2009 04:45 PM

I'll be getting a blow down tube when I get a nitrous kit. They can be had so cheap, why not. Glad to hear you got the replacement parts in.

spike_africa 04-01-2009 07:03 PM

Should of just sent that crap back and got an MSD window switch.

mustangV6_04 04-01-2009 09:27 PM

i would have had to get the tach adapter with the msd one too...you didn't because your coil on plug

spike_africa 04-02-2009 06:02 AM

MSD one I have is its own tach adapter. You are thinking of the older Pill style ones that needed a tach adapter to work.

mustangV6_04 04-02-2009 07:26 AM

oh well it works lol

spike_africa 04-02-2009 05:33 PM

Get some videos of some street passes.

mustangV6_04 04-03-2009 12:22 PM
