10# Nitrous Bottle Location for Install

[flchub]

Thanks for that info. That's why I didn't want it under the hood. I figure something would happen in extreme heat.
If I find a good deal in a roll up bed cover I might just keep it in the bed.

i thought bordens old truck had a bed cover

It may have at one time. It didn't when I got it. I would prefer a roll up kind but haven't seen a good price on one.

Put it under the back seat, just take off the black thing that folds out....

Just go buy a baby seat and strap the bottle into it in the back seat!

yeah you really dont want to have the bottle in the truck if your not goona useit. On a hot day the pressures will shoot up and blow the safety disc and empty out the bottle.

Mike Brady had it happen on the Super Tank. There is a post on here somewhere that tells the story. If you put a N2O bottle in the cab, you should install the vent line and route it out of the cab.

For it to be track legal it has to have a blow down tube that is routed to the outside of the vehicle if the bottle is in the cab. I have never seen a bottle blow the disk but I used to have a black car and had 2 bottles in the trunk and never had them blow and they were almost always full. It also reaches 105-110 here in the summer so having a bottle in a Silver truck in that kind of heat should be ok with no problems.

must not get that warm in jersey:dontknow:


Well im just going off first hand from the experiece of one of the members.

I remember nowwhat getting both his bottles filled. He left the truck parked in the sun only to come back and seeing a cloud of vapor coming from out the truck..turns out one of the bottles blew emptying out fresh nitrous.
?They were in the bed under a bed cover in a silver truck..

I DUNNO - faulty equipment ? improper install, it reaches about 100 - 103 deg here in the summer, and i take a torch to it when i race and i have never had a problem,....

i am not tryin to get in a debit about it but this is just my .02 i have been running NOS for over 10 year's

but to be serious one of them is "controlled"heat , the other is not....when the pressure gets to lets say 900psi the torch'e will stop where on the other hand the sun will not

Thats true the torch will only be "spot" heat, the sun will cook it I guess.

Under the back seat it goes....It will fit once I remove the black storage tray....now i have to get the proper jetting size and a blow down tube and I'll be ready to install...
I just don't want to half-ass install only to realize I need more things for it!

 

[kickinassrt-10]

by the way...what would happen if it did "blow-up" in the cab...I'm guessing the blow down tube directs it out of the truck?
